SLEEP:Good, got my 8 hours!!
STRENGTH:Goin up. Last week,I only got 9 x 50 for my first set of DB curls. This week, I had 10 x 55!
APPETITE:When I woke up today, I was starving but it all worked out b/c it made me get my a$$ up and outa bed and straight to the gym for cardio. I like doing cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Anyways, I think the Stim X is doing a good job curving my hunger between meals.
AGGRESSION:None today that I can remember.
ENDURANCE:Good, did cardio again this morning and ended up burning 451 calories on the stair stepper.
LIBIDO:Still good.
PUMPS:Like I said on past days and also above, the pumps from the Alpha Drive XL are insane. I did 3 warm-up sets with some pretty light weight and felt huge pumps coming on. By the time I was doing my first set of skull crushers, it felt like I wasn't going to be able to have full range of motion b/c of the bicep pump I had.
Mood:Yesterday, I was in a bad mood I believe just from having a bad lift day which I believe was from a bad nights sleep. Anyways, had better sleep last night and my mood improved. Good mood all day.
Acne:Has cleared up. I just try to make sure to wash my face throughout the day when I get a chance.
ACHES:None
ENERGY LEVELS:Good. I start losing energy around 2ish, then pop another stim, then I'm fine
Overall:Best day yet at the gym. I'm really starting to enjoy this stack. It's a shame it's coming to an end. I felt both leaner, and stronger in the gym today. Although my weight seems to be staying right around 190, I see myself leaning out and still maintaining strength...if not adding strength in some areas. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some of the same results I got today!

Was weird b/c I ended up going out with some buddies last night and had a couple drinks. This was the first time I drank in like 4 weeks.
