Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: Very broken - constantly up and down.
Mood/Aggression: Interesting.
Energy: Definitely have energy - feeling after training doesn't make for doing anything too active for the rest of the day.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Constant.
Stress: Higher than high.
Endurance: Excellent.
Strength: Good.
Pump: Pumps awesome, made better by posing practice during alternate set recovery periods.
Vascularity: Veins through deltoids and arms coming out today (definitely training with mirrors around helps seeing aesthetic progress).
Quality of Training: HIIT was fine. Running exhausts me now, and despite my ego, I had to stop between sprints, as well as having the longer recovery time . . . Resistance training was awesome. Lighting is way better in the gym than at home, and so could get a better idea re posing for quarter turns . . . Decided on more running for post-weights cardio. Was sweating feverishly during. During the rest periods I was hunched over, my heart pounding, feeling like I was going to be sick. The last minute I had to force myself to keep going, and barely made it to the rubbish bin afterwards to throw up (that's the third time in the last five weeks that this has happened, all times during/after running - either running is so intense that it 'upsets' my body now, or Sean could be right and my adrenals are so shot from all the stimulant abuse) . . .
Recovery: I feel fine after training re muscles.
Body Composition and Look: Got told that everything was coming along re leaning and definition - it was just my lower back that needed working on. No sh*t genius - I've been saying all along that my 'tyre' is my problem area and that's what needs to go! Get that gone and I might be close to satisfied with my figure.
