Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~2 hours. Watched movies until I eventually fell asleep. Woke wide awake and alert.
Mood/Aggression: Fine.
Energy: Calm and collected today.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Work, training, work again, more work, some study perhaps, and hopefully be able to sleep.
Stress: High.
Libido: VERY responsive.
Joints: My knees feel mechanical. Elbows are twinging as well.
Endurance: Good.
Strength: Feeling it a little, but this is just the first week "back", so it's ok.
Pump: Strong, getting stronger as the session went on, becoming almost painful in my triceps.
Vascularity: Vivid blue.
Quality of Training: Cardio was pretty easy, actually - Tuesdays it probably always will be, the ONLY day that I'll allow it, LOL . . . Resistance training was good. I'm going to have to start doing Close-Grip Pull-Ups TWICE a week again and build back up re strength there. Looking forward to it! . . .
Recovery: Fine.
Body Composition and Look: I was 115 pounds this morning first thing, so that's a 7.2-pound loss in just a DAY of being back training and adding back in Alpha-T2 and Shred Matrix. I know that it's just water weight, but for all those who don't think you can lose or gain scale weight fast, I do it all the time (and my body HATES me for it!) . . . Thinking that maybe 10.1% bodyfat may be higher than what I am, but I'd rather the higher number - the worst possible scenario just gives me more willpower to get lean again . . . Also, when I was training, I noticed a few fresh, faint stretchmarks on my biceps and delts. Interesting, considering I really only get stretchmarks on my legs . . .
Other Effects: Been thirsty as anything.
