Back to 3.5-4 hours sleep - and surprising perky for it! Training at the time that I wanted (yay!) . . .
am
HIIT Run:
a. 4 min jogging
b. 8 x 20 sec effort/10 sec easy
c. 4 min jogging
d. 8 x 20 sec effort/10 sec easy
e. 4 min jogging
HIIT was interesting. Although my body felt fresh starting out, it soon started to feel slow and heavy, a dead weight that was a drag from 8 minutes on. Efforts - although they were as hard as I could make them - did not really seem like efforts. I want my explosiveness back!
Shoulders (1 min recovery between sets):
1. BB Military Press 4 x 12, 8, 8, 8
2. DB Lateral Raises 4 x 12
3. Standing Behind-the-Neck BB Military Press 4 x 8, 8, 6, 6
4. Incline DB Rear Raises 4 x 12
A brutal session following along the lines of what I did last week - and also a variation on what I would usually do. Unlike my usual preferred attire for training, I was wearing an oversize sweatshirt, and had to bring the sleeves up when I got too hot, seeing the vascularity all knots and blue lines peeking out from beneath my sleeves. Behind-the-Neck Military Presses are definitely something else, and the last two sets I was struggling, the barbell moving slowly, an effort to get them out. Pain on top of my left acromion process and in my right biceps tendon from the second set into the session today, but pushing on, gritting my teeth and making faces at the mirror . . .
Post-Weights Cardio 20 min.
Stretch 20 min.
Energy has been ok today. Not as good as it used to be, and definitely noticeably less than when I'm using stimulant products, but passable, enough to get me through what I needed to do. Combined with training and self-perception and appetite has mood a little all over the place, but it should settle. Stressed, as always - still need to learn how to relax withOUT suddenly going on high alert and having a panic because there's something I might have missed.
I need to STOP eating anything and everything in sight - have been having crazy mad carbohydrate cravings and binges since I started back training last week. Diet is definitely my bane when it comes to this lifestyle. Got to get it under control, especially as I'm not as active as I was, when I WAS able to eat anything and everything and get away with it . . .
As for the rest of life, it keeps on going . . . And I with it . . .
