I'm posting this a day late as I normally type up my full report the day of and release it the next day at noon. Life sometimes gets in the way and certain priorities gain a bit more attention than others. 'Tis life and I'm not sharing a complaint; more so the circumstances.
Speaking of circumstances, I started my day off with my usual morning cardio and stretch. This is a routine I adopted about a month ago and I LOVE doing this every day now. My mind is a bit more focused throughout the day, I feel super charged and full of vitality. I highly recommend doing cardio and stretching immediately after waking. Some people call this "fasted cardio" since no breakfast is consumed, but I don't like to push my body to eating it's own muscle tissue for sustenance. So, I throw back a serving of Catalyst (great for recovery and nourishment for the muscle tissue), 16 ounces of a Spark and Rehydrate mix (energy and electrolyte support) and prep another 16 ounces of Rehydrate and BioCharge (electrolyte and more recovery/muscle nourishment) for during my workout. After my morning routine, I slug back another 16 ounces of water and a light vegan protein shake. Good stuff!
As the day progressed though, I found my attention drawn away from the gym and more on my ever-growing pile of projects. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking about hitting the gym late to get a good secondary pull routine in, but it never came. The further I went into my day the more I started to notice a nagging symptom in my back. I either was overtrained or dehydrated, because my left (lat) back muscle kept twitching. Annoying to say the least. I dealt with it and when I really thought about it, I drank a ton more water. I decided today may be a good day for time off.
Listen to your body, folks. It'll never tell you wrong.
