Comments
Mood/Aggression: Calm and flat.
Energy: I don't feel like doing much today, and now that training is out of the way, I'll probably just study and work for the rest of the day.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Preparing for it.
Stress: Sometimes it comes to a point and you HAVE to do something about it.
Joints: Left wrist giving me a little trouble today - has been quite sore since riding to work on Tuesday night (riding on the road is obviously different to on the rollers re jarring, although I did have my hands positioned differently). Icy on and off, indicating nerve issues there as well . . . Mid-back has been aching since yesterday - think it's probably the heavier Behind-the-neck Military Presses that I have been doing. Will keep an eye on it . . . For about a week or so now, I've been able to twist my neck and have it click 'back into place' (much like I've been able to do with my lower back for the last six years) . . .
Endurance: Fine.
Strength: Going to have to look at how I can lift heavy whilst minimizing stress to my left wrist again.
Pump: There.
Vascularity: This has been pretty good - lots of ropes over my arms.
Quality of Training: Cardio was steady and easy . . . Resistance training was good . . .
Recovery: Recovery is getting back to normal. My body just needed a week to adjust to the new training schedule, etc.
