Notes: Today was my first day back into the gym, since my hairline fracture on my wrist. I felt good, but towards the end my wrist started to hurt so I backed off and did light weights throughout the rest of the w/o. I'm back to pounding the food and trying to lift heavy, but being smart as well.

Tomorrow is delts, so the pressing movements will definitely be a good indicated if my wrist is starting to heal up.
