Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: I am sleeping now - just NOT when I WANT to be. I may have to rethink my schedule and change it to something close to what my body seems to have fallen into.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Definitely there and top grade.
Energy: Smooth, focused energy during training. And continuing on for a long working night ahead of me.
Endurance: Good.
Strength: Better than it was last week for this gym session.
Quality of Training: So yes, another day off yesterday, and doing yesterday's session before today's one . . . Resistance session was fine. Pleased with strength progression . . . V-Burn Challenge Circuit was an improvement on last week. Although still intense, I did not struggle as much. Next week, the number of rounds completed is going to INcrease . . .
Recovery: I'm noticing aches and pains more from work than from training - having a day off every other day has also helped re recovery this week (but has to stop next week; I NEED to train pretty much DAILY)!
Pump: Pump achieved swiftly during the V-Burn Challenge Circuit.
Vascularity: Vascularity quite noticeable through chest and in legs.
Muscle Hardness/Density: Arms.
Other Effects: Appetite is HIGH!
