Comments
Mental Focus and Clarity: ~15 minutes after dosing BLACK CATS, I am wide awake and ready for anything.
Energy: I definitely had energy today, and prepared myself for an interesting training session.
Mood/Aggression: Mood has picked up, and can only get better with training again.
Stress: Unbelievably high.
Libido: My head may match my body today.
Endurance: My training sessions are not going to last as long as they would usually. However, I will be noting endurance re cardio, more specifically my SPEED endurance, since this is what Drive does for me.
Strength: It was the first of a new and different resistance session today - as all of this week will be - so technically, this week is setting baseline levels to make comparison to in further weeks.
Quality of Training: Pre-weights cardio was good. Legs were feeling it a little, and I was sweating a lot . . . Resistance training was interesting. VERY different to what I am used to. First time I have added Overhead Squats to my training (I have actually only done them once before today), and it was weird, to say the least. Recovery was fine. A short session - half as short as usual. The change in training style should be productive for my body.
Pump: Pump in legs after pre-weights cardio. Reps not high enough to get a pump during resistance training.
Vascularity: Vascularity was strong in the gym.
Muscle Hardness/Density: My upper arms actually feel harder today - most probably from the Weighted Dips.
Body Composition and Look: I am down 3.6 pounds from yesterday - training again definitely makes a fast difference re weight and body composition for me, and I am excited to be on my way back to being me!
