0900 - Rollers:
a. 4 min @ 75-80% HRmax (108-110 rpm)
b. 21 min @ 80-85% HRmax(110-112 rpm)
c. 5 min @ 85-90% HRmax (108-112 rpm)
I'm liking the rollers, and starting to prefer them over going running. Legs were fine. Decided to make it a 'recovery' session today, since a day off is not an option (only 1 a week, and this week it's Sunday, since I will be recovering from an all-nighter and then having to drive home...) At 25 minutes, my HR was starting to drop a little, though, so decided to work a little harder for the last 5 minutes...Good session. Cycling is hardening my legs up nicely, again...I'm noticing that the spinning (and especially with efforts) that it is beginning to 'hurt' my hips, though, and my lower back a little (so let's see how the Osteobolin-C works...)
1000 - Stretch 27 min.
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~2300-0748 (waking at 0315 and 0423), so nearly 9 hours sleep. At 0315 I was too fatigued to get up (yesterday's gym session was obviously harder than it felt; and the not being able to go to sleep until late is starting to take a small toll...) Tomorrow, though, girl, it's back to being bright and perky at 0315!
Mental Alertness/Focus: 8 hours and not even scratched the surface of an assessment...sigh...(I had better start getting my act together with my meta-analysis; I have a meeting with my Supervisor on Thursday, and haven't made any more progress since the last meeting 6 weeks ago!...)
Energy: Thought for a moment that the energizer bunny needed recharging...But no, she's all good...
Motivation: Getting into the sync of things...Seeing the bigger picture clearer...
Mood/Aggression: Still smiling...Yeah you (you know who you are), you make me laugh...
Libido: Shot down last night over SLEEP!... Ah, well, let him settle for a bit and divert that energy into something else, like study...
Endurance: Improving...
Strength: N/A.
Quality of Training: Good.
Pump and Vascularity: Not a lot of anything of anything, except for vascularity in my hands...
Muscle Hardess/Density: Same...
Body Composition and Look: Calves are starting to become more defined (must be all the spinning)...Seeing the muscle striations up around the inferior base of my patella...Good...Abs still appearing more and more...
Overall Sense of Feeling: Good...Still next to no DOMS, so will be interesting to see if this changes while I'm not using IGF-2...Took NeoVar Recomped (hello, my pretty) today. You don't need to take as much of this as the original (silly me; took the original dose, and THEN read the dosing label, LOL), and it DOESN'T have a taste, unlike the original version. Actually quite nice. I think I'm going to like this...The amount of work and the hours that are still to come in the last 6 weeks of the semester are starting to weigh a little on my mind; there can be NO last minute efforts this time around (at least, I'd rather I didn't...)...Looking forward to the weekend and having time for some small 'release'...








Guess it's a little OVERdetailed, but where would Rosie be if she wasn't keeping tabs on everything down to the last tiny detail? LOL...Yeah, the DOMS is interesting, since when I was using the IGF-2 I noticed that I rarely ever had any (be good when I've finished the 'off' part of this cycle and can get back on it already! I really love the IGF-2/NeoVar stack, especially since I've been gaining LBM and losing BF, and NOT losing any of the LBM, which has been interesting, for me at least)...Ah, deadlifts; I will start doing them again this week (and the rest of Legs, just for a change, and hopefully I'll just gain STRENGTH and NOT more muscle on them!); I haven't done proper deadlifts or BB back squats in 18 months, so no doubt I'll be feeling them both the next few days afterwards!
)
might have to start my own soon.
