[codgerus maximus]

The top set was an honest RPE 8, which puts me back in pre-treatment territory. Hot f'n damn!

That news kicks my day up a notch!

I do enough bitching these days, it's time you hear some positive news.

The top set was an honest RPE 8, which puts me back in pre-treatment territory. Hot f'n damn!

I'm not bleeding off "stress" as well as I was able to BT (before treatments). That last week of cycle two was an indicator of that stress build up.

Still tired. I'm under a great deal of "life" stress at the moment, and it truly is effecting my time in the gym, as well as recovery.

Keeping things at RPE 8 is the order of the day.

And we (folks at the new gym) learned that there will be no Air Conditioning in the new facility - too expensive. There will be industrial fans installed to get air moving, but no AC.
