Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: Sleep has not really been a happening thing lately.
Mood/Aggression: Calm and chilled (for the most part). All the aggression I had on FREE TEST is GONE.
Energy: It's there.
Stimulant Effects: Today was a huge stack of stims and NOTHING. Unless it's a hefty dose of stims, I no longer feel any 'stimulant effects', really. However, just because I don't feel 'stimulant effects' doesn't mean that the stims I'm using aren't working, because I know damn well that they ARE. When did I become such a stim junkie, dependent on stims just to be functional?!
Mental Focus and Clarity: There.
Stress: Been listening to soothing tunes, trying to 'still' myself and not let it bother me.
Libido: My body can't handle the demands my mind is making (sigh).
Endurance: Good.
Strength: The last few days I've decreased my energy intake. Yet my strength is maintaining or even better than last week, which shows definite improvement.
Pump: Not that much - then again, my weights and reps are not really 'pump' material. I used Anadraulic Pump today, though, so thought that perhaps I might feel SOMEthing more than I usually do for this session - and I usually get mad bicep pumps, but even that didn't happen. Interesting.
Vascularity: Got better as my resistance session continued.
Quality of Training: HIIT was ok; mid-to-lower back ached throughout it, hence the shorter session . . . Resistance session was pretty good. Performance is gradually progressing, which is all I can ask for . . .
Recovery: I need it, but not from TRAINING, LOL.
Notes: BC+EAA has been a lifesaver for me over the last week or so, especially with my hectic professional schedule, and dosing them immediately post-training has also helped a great deal with my recovery.
