Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: Waking ~3 hours after going to sleep.
Mood/Aggression: Up and down. Someone mentioned in the gym that "you don't look very happy to be training", and my reply was, "I've been here a long time". Definitely was NOT a happy woman during training, and I am resigning myself to this fate for the next five weeks.
Energy: It was reasonable, but not out of this world.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Fine.
Stress: HIGH. I am going to have to make a real effort over the next five weeks to really try and decrease this, and stop taking on more than I should.
Immune System: Fine.
Libido: Sometimes enough is never enough even when it is enough!
Joints: Lateral left ankle was aching from the start of my training, and by the end, my left wrist was throbbing as well.
Endurance: Excellent.
Strength: I'm NOT going to be focusing on strength until these five weeks are up.
Pump: Minimal - certainly nowhere near as good as this session last time.
Vascularity: Hints of some blue lines - but that was only during the cardio aspects of my training; during resistance training I was lucky to see a few knots towards the end of the session.
Quality of Training: HIIT was HARD. For some reason my body was shattered after a few efforts . . . Resistance training was fine. Just under two hours - it's only day ONE of this, and already I can't wait for it to be over and done with! . . . Post-Weights Cardio was an effort. I'll be glad when I can stop doing this as well - even though I feel like I'm being bad if I DON'T do this after EVERY resistance session now . . .
Recovery: We'll see tomorrow.
Body Composition and Look: 9% bodyfat at 111.6 pounds. So, gained a little bodyfat - or it could just be that I am still holding some water from the last week. Either way, 9% bodyfat is my "starting point" for getting as lean as possible.
Other Effects: I'm looking forward to the Triazole drying me out.
Slin-Sane Notes: I have started dosing 1 cap of Slin-Sane first thing, and find this very effective.
Eviscerate Smolder Notes: I have noticed that there is minimal to no water retention with this - unlike the original Eviscerate, which caused quite a lot of water retention for me.
Other Notes: So far, all the NO products I have tried do NOT work for me. I used PlasmaJet only today, and got similar results to when I used Anadraulic Pump re less of a pump and vascularity than usual, etc. Tomorrow I am going to use GlycoCarn-GPLC only pre-training and see how that goes, and then on Wednesday stack PlasmaJet and GlycoCarn-GPLC to see what happens. On Wednesday I will be able to say for definite whether or not NO products are like Growth Hormone boosters for me and simply do NOT work with my body (except IGF-2 - which I use as a staple).
