Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: After having semi-settled into a compromise re sleep, it went off kilter and I didn't fall asleep until close to 0800 this morning, waking at 1310 . . .
Mood/Aggression: Took my aggression out on the iron before work, leaving me in a calmer state, but the aggression seething beneath the surface, waiting to boil . . .
Energy: I have been a non-stop energizer bunny since I woke up!
Mental Focus and Clarity: Precision.
Libido: Oh, I've thought about it!
Endurance: Good.
Strength: New 5RMs all around - definitely a high re strength, and the best session of this one over the last 7 weeks.
Pump: Not much of one, which is not weird, considering I did NO cardio pre-weights, or even post-weights.
Vascularity: Very noticeable.
Quality of Training: Resistance session was like WOW today. I was pushing out the reps like the weight was nothing and increases were made all around. I couldn't believe the ease at which I was lifting some of the weight, especially since the last two weeks I have been struggling with lesser weights on some exercises. I must say, though, that training after about an hour of getting up, and having dosed ALL my 'first thing' and 'pre-training' supplements within a 10-minute period (like I used to do) makes a world of difference - and this is what I need to do from now on!
Recovery: I still feel great. No DOMS whatsoever from this week so far.
