After a long easter break, was aching to get back into the gym again. The holiday must have rested me well, because the weights were all pretty light today. What astonished me the most was the close grip flat bench, as I didn't expect it to feel so light, since usually after the press and incline i'm pretty gassed. On a side note though, my shoulders feel a little strained, so I decided to lighten up on the shoulder work and use the band for some aggressive stretching and mobility instead. Overall, a good session that got me smiling when I left the gym. Also, my dad messaged me to say he's getting back into lifting again! Totally made my night(:
