Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: This getting up late is getting really old now. Get back to getting up and having training finished by midday!
Mood/Aggression: Feel better now that I am training again.
Energy: Doing what I have to when I have to.
Mental Focus and Clarity: 100%.
Stress: Today things start getting back on track, so hopefully the stress will decrease somewhat.
Libido: Not like I can do anything about it.
Joints: Left wrist has been aching terribly. Left biceps' tendon as well.
Endurance: Great.
Pump: Very strong, especially in shoulders and arms.
Vascularity: Ropes and knots on the top of my arms up until Superset C - slightly above average from there.
Quality of Training: I was under no illusion that getting back into training would be tough, especially sprinting again after not having run for such a long time. Sprinting definitely took a lot out of me, and I had to rest for the 10 seconds between efforts, as well as only making it a shorter than usual HIIT session. Now just need to build up my running endurance again . . . Resistance training was ok. Started out well. By half-way through my left wrist was aching badly, and I had to stop and shake it a lot to deal with the pain. On top of that, my left biceps' tendon and shoulder started giving me hell as well after Superset D. Made sure I was lifting heavy - much more than I was last time I did this kind of session, since HEAVY lifting does so much MORE for me than lighter weights, and if I can handle it, then why not - not much point NOT making my body WORK. It was a long session for the first one back, but it was fine . . . Post-Weights Cardio is part of my Maintenance training now, so it HAD to be done . . .
Recovery: I'll know later how well my body took training today.
Body Composition and Look: I can't wait to be COMFORTABLE again - and then to be LEAN!
Other Notes: At 12 sprays daily, the beta bottle was supposed to last ~24 days. I've been using 24-36 sprays of the 7-keto DHEA topical daily, and I am only about a thirdof the way through the beta bottle, so it is going to last me at least 24 days, and probably TWICE that . . . As of now, the 7-keto DHEA topical is my ONLY cortisol control product, so the higher dosing actually works perfectly . . . Tomorrow I'm going to be trying the beta version of PES' new stimulant as well, and make notes on that for a couple of days (it will not affect effects from the 7-keto DHEA topical) . . .
