Comments

Mood/Aggression: Very dependent upon who I am around and what demands are being placed on me at the moment.

Energy: There - although head feels a little funky . . .

Stimulant Effects: There SHOULD have been SOMEthing today, since I've had a sh*tload of stims (just another indicator of how fcuked up my body is)!

Stress: I would like to NOT be able to think about it! . . . Honestly, I wonder what having NO stress feels like . . .

Endurance: Fine.

Strength: Added 10 pounds to my 5RM for all lifts today, so was pretty pleased with that.

Pump: I used Anadraulic Pump again today (noticed that it has quite a tart, bitter taste, which I actually like), and honestly, it has done nothing for me re pumps - but eh, not every product is for everybody, and Anadraulic State will usually do this well enough for me.

Vascularity: Ok.

Quality of Training: Resistance session was good. It was INTENSE. There was a lot of grunted efforts to get some sets done, but I wanted to REALLY push it today, make myself WORK . . .

Recovery: So much better than a few days ago.

Sides: I actually used TWO scoops of Anadraulic State GT today, and experienced a few minor Beta-Alanine tingles for about a minute. Aside from that, nothing else, really - unless you count a really good training session!

Comments

Sleep - Time and Quality: Sleep has not really been a happening thing lately.

Mood/Aggression: Calm and chilled (for the most part). All the aggression I had on FREE TEST is GONE.

Energy: It's there.

Stimulant Effects: Today was a huge stack of stims and NOTHING. Unless it's a hefty dose of stims, I no longer feel any 'stimulant effects', really. However, just because I don't feel 'stimulant effects' doesn't mean that the stims I'm using aren't working, because I know damn well that they ARE. When did I become such a stim junkie, dependent on stims just to be functional?!

Mental Focus and Clarity: There.

Stress: Been listening to soothing tunes, trying to 'still' myself and not let it bother me.

Libido: My body can't handle the demands my mind is making (sigh).

Endurance: Good.

Strength: The last few days I've decreased my energy intake. Yet my strength is maintaining or even better than last week, which shows definite improvement.

Pump: Not that much - then again, my weights and reps are not really 'pump' material. I used Anadraulic Pump today, though, so thought that perhaps I might feel SOMEthing more than I usually do for this session - and I usually get mad bicep pumps, but even that didn't happen. Interesting.

Vascularity: Got better as my resistance session continued.

Quality of Training: HIIT was ok; mid-to-lower back ached throughout it, hence the shorter session . . . Resistance session was pretty good. Performance is gradually progressing, which is all I can ask for . . .

Recovery: I need it, but not from TRAINING, LOL.

Notes: BC+EAA has been a lifesaver for me over the last week or so, especially with my hectic professional schedule, and dosing them immediately post-training has also helped a great deal with my recovery.

Day 209: My body loves to RECOMP

Training

HIIT Cardio:
a. 4 min easy
b. 24 x 20 sec effort/10 sec easy
c. 4 min easy

Stretch 21 min.

Comments

Mood/Aggression: Actually, in a REALLY good mood - and actually relieved that I have a few days off my night work (more time to use to do my other work and study and try and chillax somewhat - if that's even possible).

Energy: Not starting out the day great, but picking up speed as it goes along . . .

Stimulant Effects: Man, it would take an awful LOT of stims to give me any "stimulant" effects nowadays - my body is too used to them and I keep dosing higher and higher . . .

Mental Focus and Clarity: Like my energy, didn't start out great, but picked up pretty quick after BLACK CATS and then the Anadraulic State GT/T-911 dosing.

Libido: I don't know if my body can handle the volume it's wanting, LOL.

Endurance: Great.

Quality of Training: HIIT was pretty good. I DID consider taking today to give my body a rest, since it seems like forever since it had one, but my mind knows better, and I did what I had to do . . .

Recovery: Feeling a little sore, but not from training.

Body Composition and Look: I'll let my final body statistics do the telling, but from what I can see and feel, I have achieved another successful recomp, as opposed to a cut (which is fine; I still have some time - but not much, and after this I will be straight outright cutting).

Comments

Mood/Aggression: I've been told - 'nicely - that my mood is better when I've either been getting some or after binging (until the crash of the binge).

Energy: It's there, oushing through because it has to, and because, well . . .

Mental Focus and Clarity: Top of the day to you, dodger (tips hat).

Libido: Enough is never enough!

Endurance: Definitely a huge difference on 6 caps of Drive daily, compared to 4 caps.

Strength: Everything seemed easier this week than it did last week, and I have a new 1RM on Incline DB Bench Press.

Pump: Strong.

Vascularity: Strong.

Quality of Training: HIIT was great - I actually do FAR BETTER when ALL my cardio is HIGH intensity, and I can do HIIT every day (although, not running; I have to have a day between RUNNING HIIT, but I can do other mode HIIT on those days) . . . Resistance training was awesome. Felt good . . .

Recovery: No aches and pains today.

Other Notes: I will be using Anadraulic Pump with my training next week . . .
