HUGE Yoke SSB PR!!!
One bad session does not define an entire block of training. Momentum is a fickle thing, and it can swing in an instant. Using aggression and emotion is a powerful thing, and rather than allowing the outside stress of the corporate world (could be school, could be anything) use it to build your arousal up in the gym, and focus the intensity into each and every set. This is how I made my heavy set move like light speed today. Come check it out.
