Rest

No training, lots of studying.

• Sleep: Good.
• Nutrition: Pint of ice cream. I am toying around with the idea of protein fasts occasionally, but only when it is convenient. I don't think full fasts during gain cycles would be very fruitful or appropriate, but my interest is kinda peaked by this idea of occasional protein fasts and turning on autophagy. Might be something to tinker with down the road. Also, I find it strange that despite my highly increased caloric intake, I am still getting pretty significantly sore...compared to before when I would hardly get sore at all. Could be the weights getting heavier, but I don't think so. Trying to figure out what I am doing differently.
• Body: RHR was higher today again...50+. I am not overtrained, but it could be stress. Calves and elbows/biceps are sore.
• General: Finals are coming up this weekend and next week, so I am working hard to keep the stress down but friday/saturday are probably going to be pretty bad. I should be good but I will make any adjustments in training if needed.
