NOTES: This was actually the best part of the workout; I've never done the 36s for more than one set.

WORKOUT NOTES: This was another perfect workout, despite being sick. Took a little longer but definitely worth it. The flat DB bench was awesome, by the end of Madcows I should be throwing around the 40s for multiple sets. You know you're on the road to real progress when daily PRs don't get you excited, but the accumulation of multiple PRs over time are exciting.
