Day 21; 1st Test Rage Episode
I tested the full dose White Flood CAPS with Rest-AD as I promised I would and I will discuss that further later on, but it's the DTHC/Sunami that reared it's aggressive face this morning. I had a serious episode of Test Rage at the gym this morning and I'll expound further toward the end.
TRAPS DAY
I still can't perform standing barbell shrugs. You'd be surprised how weak your shrugs can be, when your lumbar erectors are non-functional. Therefore, I performed BLOCK pyramids again on the seated shrug.

TEST RAGE: I was minding my own business with my headphones on, performing my (crippled) seated shrugs routine, making the most of what I got, when I see a guy on the incline press. He loaded up 225 and performed the most partial of all partial reps I've EVER seen in my life. He stopped the bar about 5 inches ABOVE his head, on the incline bench. That urked me much more then it should have. He performed 10 twitches, got up and looked around. I made eye contact with him through the mirror reflection and shook my head at him.
Next set, he loaded up to 275 and for no rational reason at all, I was legitimately angry. Again, he performs 8 twitch reps, gets up and looks around and I shake my head again, but he chooses not to look my way.
He moves up to 295 and during his set, everything in me wanted to throw a dime at his forehead and yell out "NEGGED!" He twitch reps some more (stops the bar 5 inches ABOVE his head) and moves to 315 for his next set. At this point, I was literally on the verge of saying something, like yelling across the room, "I'm still waiting for the 1st rep!" Then I had a fantasy beat down, you know when you play out a situation in your head that may lead up to a fight.
I saw myself saying what I was going to say, then I pictured him walking up to me and I was going to pop up and knock him to the ground. I thought, "if he steps to me I'm going to swing this 45lbs plate at his head" then I thought, "no, there's no way I can swing a 45lbs plate fast enough to hit somebody," so I looked around and saw a nearby Quarter and thought, "perfect, I can reach for that" and I commenced to beat this guy with a quarter in my thoughts.
NOW.... 10 min later, when the test rage calmed down, I thought, holy $hit, how irrational was that last 15 min?!?!
I'm normally a peaceful, compassionate, cool guy, so I hope this little story doesn't change your perception of me, I'm fully certain this was the act of the DTHC/Sunami getting my War Test moving. I hope you don't see this little story as a reflection of my character, but I felt it would be an integral report of the Aggression via Test Increase as a result of the products I'm on. It's technically a positive report FOR DTHC/Sunami.
On my way to my car I thought. Women can be skilled fighters, I agree, but nothing can touch a light to the bone headed, irrational and unadulterated instinct to destroy and destroy without repentance then a floodgate of Male Testosterone drowning out every piece of judgment and sensibility in a MAN. Men were born to war, testosterone is one hellacious kindle of a desire to break someone else. I'm a good guy though. It was a temporary break of sanity via increased testosterone.
White Flood/Reset-AD
No change in actual energy. Energy was still high, but nothing extraordinary as far as physical energy, meaning, no restlessness, no desire to perform HIIT cartwheels between sets, I was actually a bit drained from this morning's HIIT I performed.
What I did notice and continue to experience, is a sharp and clear mental acuity. My mind is wired, but not in an overwhelming sense where I can't focus. I'm simply wide awake in the mind. Like if I had to write a 10 page paper right now, it'd be done in 2 hours. I have crazy mental energy.
