Comments
Mood/Aggression: Frustrated. Aggressive. Tired. Could easily turn like the wind though and be something else altogether.
Energy: There.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Bit off today - and I can't be!
Stress: I can feel it beating away at the door.
Libido: Whoever said AIs kill libido was WRONG - at least when it comes to me, because every single one I have used has HEIGHTENED my already naturally high libido!
Joints: Knees were slightly better today. Wrists were bothering me instead, especially from Superset B.
Endurance: Awesome.
Pump: High.
Vascularity: Coming out stronger and stronger as the days roll by.
Quality of Training: A bit like last week, and not really even wanting to be training. Resistance training I made shorter by ~30 minutes by supersetting instead of alternate setting everything, and also wanted to make it more intense, since I need some punishment after last week. The time went relatively quickly, but by Superset E my grumpy "I don't want to be here; what the fcuk am I doing?" face was on, and I just wanted to be gone.
Recovery: Feeling my body niggle here and there.
Other Notes: Training has become a JOB for me now. There has been no enjoyment in it for the last week or so, pretty much. I just do it because I HAVE to. NOT cool. Maybe because I didn't really have a week OFF, and this is now the 21st week since I started back training after earlier this year. Or maybe the two weeks pre-competition - even though I only dieted for the last one, training was hard both weeks - took more out of me than I thought. Maybe I need a REAL break. I don't know. Whatever the reason, I am NOT giving myself a break, and I had better get OVER it FAST! . . . Last day of this bottle of IGF-2 . . . I've also decided that I'm going to use Alpha-T2 chronically, and therefore I will start that again when my new bottle/s arrive a little later this week . . .
