Comments
Mood/Aggression: Interesting . . .
Energy: YES!
Stimulant Effects: I took 2 caps of Alpha-T2 this morning - and will keep doing so from now on (change noted in post #1) - and definitely noticed a difference to using only 1 cap. Almost a tight feeling in my chest, that took a while to pass . . .
Mental Focus and Clarity: There.
Metabolism: Good.
Appetite: Last night was another FORCED meal, and I don't think I've ever eaten so slow, nor never finished what I started (guess there IS a first time for everything)! Today, appetite has gone KAPUT . . .
Stress: HighER.
Libido: Body is ready.
Endurance: Fine.
Strength: Noticed a decrease in strength from the last time I was doing some of these exercises in the gym - but not a big deal; I'm just going to have to let my ego go . . .
Pump: Some.
Vascularity: I want it to be BETTER (and yes, not because it does anything, but because it looks nice, LOL)!
Quality of Training: HIIT was INTENSE. My efforts took so much out of me that I HAD to go easy - if I'd kept going for 8 reps per effort set, every other effort after my first two would have been just fast running and not full-on sprints. As it was, I had to stop for ~30 seconds after the second effort of my second set, because I almost - ALMOST - threw up again, and because I could barely breathe . . . Resistance session was ok. Painful, but ok . . . Had to stop after the tenth minute of post-weights cardio, and made my way to the bathroom with my towel over my mouth and my stomach heaving (so very NOT cool) . . .
Recovery: Definitely feels better to be training hard and intense again! I know I'm going to feel it, though . . . But, as Duke said in G. I. Joe: Resolute, "Who the hell has time for pain?"!
