I had duty last night ... essentially serving as a security guard from 0800 on Sunday until 0800 on Monday morning... got this workout in after I came off the duty... Felt pretty awful given I slept from 2300 to 0500 on an old crappy Marine Corps mattress... anyway, got in what I could and didn't feel strong at all, but I did get through everything and was glad I did.
