Comments

Sleep - Time and Quality: I actually slept last night - a solid 8 hours, but somehow still woke feeling shattered.

Mental Focus and Clarity: It's been there, but barely, today - just wanting to sleep, but no time to.

Energy: Energy has been fine - just been mentally feeling the tiredness.

Mood/Aggression: Wow, a few moments of INSANE aggression in there.

Stress: Just me doing it to myself.

Libido: Heightened awareness and overexcessive indulgence.

Joints: Left wrist clicks a lot, a warming and tingling sensation following not long after. Dull aching other times. Getting better, though.

Endurance: Running is where it has to be at.

Strength: Added 10 pounds to each exercise from last week - increasing 5RM, so strength is getting better.

Quality of Training: Cardio was good; really getting a sweat going . . . Resistance session was fine as well. Please re strength progression . . .

Recovery: My mind is more fatigued than my body - although I can feel my legs every time I go up and down the stairs.

Pump: Easily achieved and maintained.

Vascularity: Vascularity starting to last longer re strength of it.

Muscle Hardness/Density: Arms.

Other Effects: Appetite is still in full force, and I am forever wanting to eat, and when I eat, stopping is next to impossible. Damn . . .
