This has been quite a rough day. To begin with, I wasn't really planning on working. Yesterday I received a phone call, and apparently there's a crisis at work and they really needed people to jump in - which is exactly what I did. The sleep was rather bad during the night and once I got off from work, and we decided to head to the gym, I started feeling real bad. To begin with, I had a blistering headache which was accompanied by a bit of dizziness. I took some painkillers prior to heading off. Before we got to the gym, we had a visit at the supermarket, where things got real bad. I started getting real dizzy and crouched down on the floor. To be honest, I think that part of the reason for this reaction was the fact that I've not had my stomach pills for quite some time. Luckily, my buddy at the gym carried some pills with him and I could snatch one before starting my workout. Thank god for gym buddies! Oh, and prior to the gym I got a chance to phone the upcoming guest for the next episode of Bringing Awesome Back Goes Radio, and let me just leave you guys with saying that he's a legend within Swedish bodybuilding!

# Workout Notes:
Luckily, thanks to the painkillers and the stomach pill, I started getting a lot better after a few sets in my initial Bench Press, in fact, I even managed to pull off the 5 reps on 85 kilos. As the workout progressed the dizziness disappeared, however, the headache started to resurface. Nothing major though, but still, not the best of workouts.
