Comments

Mood/Aggression: Spent time with family. Went out on the pontoon for the first time and had fun.

Energy: Definitely awesome. The PerformaStrips are best taken immediately pre-CARDIO.

Mental Focus and Clarity: Going to be spending most of the rest of the evening doing assessments.

Stress: High.

Endurance: Great.

Strength: Working back up.

Pump: Right from the start of my resistance session.

Vascularity: Strong.

Quality of Training: Training was pretty good all round today . . .

Recovery: Woke up feeling the effects of training and working nights the last few days, but didn't take long to be full of energy and no issues.

Body Composition and Look: The Supinated BB Bent Over Rows have helped add mass to my biceps, and the Hammer Raises have helped add mass to my anterior and lateral delts - hence the stretchmarks that suddenly appeared in both areas a few days ago (makes sense). Another observation to back it up is the fact that definition in both areas is a lot more pronounced and even better than when I was LEANER.
