Comments

Mood/Aggression: NO-GO zone if you want to keep your head!

Energy: Nothing. Took forever to even get myself ready for training, and throughout it I felt like I was just dragging my body through the motions.

Libido: It's ON!

Joints: A few niggles here and there - elbows clicking, knees aching, hips popping.

Endurance: Fine.

Strength: Same weight as last week for less reps.

Pump: Decent, but nothing spectacular.

Vascularity: Spectacular.

Quality of Training: HIIT felt like my body was a heavy mechanical object podding along at the only pace it could go. Efforts were lacklustre compared to usual and I didn't have the energy to push harder . . . Resistance training was only 20 minutes, and definitely felt 'off' today . . .
