Comments

Sleep - Time and Quality: ~5 hours.

Mood/Aggression: I just feel flat.

Energy: I can't seem to muster my usual hyper, aggressive energy, but I DO have energy - just more composed, like I am on autopilot.

Mental Focus and Clarity: Finally, broke through a roadblock I was feeling re study, settling in for my last huge assessment.

Stress: Sometimes stress levels get so high that you forget what it's like to ever NOT be stressed.

Joints: Left knee was niggling a little.

Endurance: Good.

Strength: Lower reps means higher weights.

Pump: Not much.

Vascularity: Reasonable.

Quality of Training: Training was good. Cardio passed quickly, compared to how it has been the last few weeks. Resistance training was over and done with before I knew it as well.

Recovery: Great.

Other Notes: I run out of my current tubs of EndoAmp Max and Organic VitaBerry today, and seriously can't wait for fresh supplies to arrive.

Question of the Day

What world would we build if given the chance, allowed to imagine and dream, set free on a path of creative and artistic vision, where emotion and feeling made the colours swirl and fade and turn into something else?
