Comments
Mood/Aggression: Frustrated with lack of energy and the way I feel during training.
Energy: EXHAUSTED. Completing training was just sheer willpower.
Stress: Back to being in the RED red.
Endurance: Awesome - considering.
Pump: So strong that I had to stop a few times during training and pump my arms and legs so that I could actually perform the exercises ok. Pump definitely very painful.
Vascularity: High.
Quality of Training: Rollers were fine . . . Resistance training was long and felt it. I nearly collapsed multiple times during Superset A, and had to steady myself and take it slower to ensure that I didn't. Again, I made the recovery short, and it was probably actually TOO short, honestly, and I should have done ALTERNATE sets, or had a minute between supersets, because I was NOT recovering. Everything was done slowly after that. Surprisingly, my face was flushed and not ghostly white, which it usually is when I do Legs' exercises . . . Despite being completely fcuked after weights, I forced myself to do some more cardio. A little slower, because my legs felt like they were going to fall out from under me, and stopped early, because I was close to throwing up . . . It was definitely a VERY slow walk back from the gym . . .
Recovery: My entire body is sore. And not just from training - there'll be some not-so-pretty bruises appearing over the next few days. My legs hurt, and walking, especially up and down stairs, is torture. My back aches. My deltoids are in pain. My arms don't even want to move. I feel like absolute sh*t, and that's putting it mildly.
Other Notes: Used my first dose of PES' beta stimulant today - notes can be found at PES Beta Stim!: Rosie's Initial Impressions.
Note that I must have miscounted a day somewhere - hence the jump from day 360 to day 362 (it IS day 362 of 2010).
