*Tried this pre workout for the first time and it was VERY potent. I thought I was going to have a heart attack - not even kidding. It gave me heart palpitations, jitters and dizziness. I had to drive up town and didn't feel safe doing so. I will not be taking this again. Way too many stimulants or my liking. I will be taking a break from all pre workouts for at least the next month.

Wednesday 21st Jan: Rest

How am I feeling and where are the rest of my workouts?

Unfortunately the workouts completed from Wednesday to Sunday were all over the place and a real struggle. I am pretty sure I am suffering from overtraining - strength loss, fatigue, low appetite, tiredness, increased heart rate etc. I really haven't taken any time off or had any 'deload' weeks like I should have and I think it has finally caught up with me. As crappy as it is, I am going to take next week as an active rest week - no weights, just low intensity walks; as much as it pains me to do so, I need to listen to my body. My macros will be adjusted to 1600-1700 calories for the next week.
