In the green for an entire week! You’re doing something right 
That's awesome. I wanted to emphasize that to people reading that may not think about how incredible this is. I'm really curious to see if could possibly become your new normal with this stack bc a lot of people are talking about how much better their sleep quality is on Optimize-T.

Had a really great leg workout today. I added some warm up sets as its getting cold up here in the north. So just wanted to be sure my joints and muscles were fully warm before going hard.
Yesterday I came home to a decked table with all of my favourites. Pasta, sandwiches and cookies. So i ate my share I can tell you. I never felt overly full or sick. But my over night recovery always takes a hit when i eat huge amounts of food. I felt great in the morning and while working out. So the low recovery here doesnt really mean anything. Other than my body was working hard during the night to digest all the extra calories.
Normally I wouldnt eat extra two days in a row. But it IS my borthday and there are leftovers... sooo yeah, maybe getting a red one tomorrow as well haha.
Some good news is that my Whoop 4.0 seems to finally be done at the manufacturor. So its supposed to be shipped out before 29th of October. So should be in my hands soon!

Actually, this seems to make sense to me. As he eats more close to bed, his body needs to expend energy digesting food overnight which takes away from deeper sleep, rest and recovery. I've actually almost always had a pre-bed shake to get in my cals, particularly while bulking, but I'm re-evaluating that strategy.Happy birthday! It’s funny that it measures your recovery as so low on days with more food (close to bed)… seems like that should actually help recovery in the longer term even if there are more “inner processes” taking place overnight to digest. Do you feel any better or worse?
Thank you very much. Yeah the food and dessert were exellent!Happy Birthday. I'm jealous of the dessert pics you post sometimes haha.
Yeah it will be very interesting to see if the new optimized sensors plus the nes meaurments gives me a even clearer picture on whats going on.Nice! Excited to see how it compares and treats you!

Thank you very much both of you.Happy birthday man! Showing us how to get better with age! Age is just a number!

Im glad I still got 2 tubs left of everything
But i am being careful, i do want my injury to disappear for ever.
Another solid workout in the books. Im getting a solid pump and feeling great when training. Unfortunately the incline press has stalled for 3 weeks now, so im going to have to change up the exercises. Its too bad because im getting great muscle contact with it.
Recovery still in the green, sleep slipped so ill try to get to bed a bit earlier tonight.
I tend to stick to dumbbells and machines as i like the longer ROM but also barbells have a tendency to mess my shoulders up.Maybe just switch to a barbell for a bit? You can always use more weight (total) and maybe bust through… what type of swap do you normally do?

Maybe I will add some pre-exhaustion to the mix. I will have a think on it!
So our youngest pup has had loose stool for two night now, so my recovery is not the best. Its hard to get restfull sleep when you gotta be on the ball each time he jumps off the bed and starts pooping on the floor haha.
Haha well i always cleaned up before getting back to bed. No poop smell in my house!Then you can't fall back asleep because the smell to right?My dog has gone through a few of those and when she hits the door to go outside you better be ready or else

Also that my weight is up, which based on my calories shouldnt be happening
Yeah, especially when you feel that you have a solid grip on diet, sleep and training!It's always interesting when you're expecting your body to do one thing but it does another!
so im hoping for muscle
Seems im trapped in the fiftys
You jinxed me!On a positive note I guess it's better than being trapped in the forties![]()
