Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: So, getting my sleep in the last few days - even if not falling asleep until the early hours of morning - and getting in ~8 hours. Maybe returning to intense Maintenance training levels is what I needed to do a long time ago!
Mood/Aggression: Flat.Energy: It HAS to be there - I have no time for feeling like the walking dead today.
Stimulant Effects: None.
Mental Focus and Clarity: There.
Metabolism: Fine.
Stress: I wonder if this will actually go down somewhat even when I DO get a break?
Endurance: Excellent.
Strength: This session was NOT about strength - more about pain, LOL.
Pump: Swift, hard, and painful!
Vascularity: Ok.
Quality of Training: Decided to do a high rep 'Kyle' session, something I haven't done in a while, just because I felt like punishing myself and forcing myself to work through the scream. Every exercise burned, the pump making my arms feel huge (which is funny, considering how small they really are). My heart was beating rapidly, and when I started the Flat BB Bench Press, my body suddenly heated up like a fire. Bit wobbly with the Single-Leg Deadlifts, lower legs going painfully numb towards the end of each set, feeling my nerves. Definitely glad when it was over . . .
Other Notes: Finishing up my bottle of Drive today, as well as the one I have of NeoVar Recomped. I probably won't be using Drive again before this first competition, but will be using NeoVar Recomped when I get a new bottle.
