Thursday 2/6/2014 Day 10

Workout

45min Basketball

followed by

4 mile run (outdoors)

Conclusion

I think I may be getting sick. This is the 2nd day in a row I'm sleepy by 5pm, and yesterday had some chills. Maybe it's the outdoor cardio at 40 degrees.

I think my first night vision sides are starting to show....yellow tint on vehicle headlights, what do you think Travis?

Other than that, when I'm working out, I'm still feeling great.

Great log mate! Solid unit of a bloke and to think you run as much as you do, that's very impressive. Keep up the rad work

 

[TheBarbarian]

So it's time to start a cycle of 5 days on and 2 off of the S4... I made it 10 days before I reached the point of slight vision problems

I don't know if fatigue and sickness are playing apart but pretty much, it's taking longer than I like for my eyes to adjust to changing in light. Moving indoors to outdoor natural light, darkness to light... It's tolerable but annoyed me yesterday evening and this morning. So, for the rest of the day and this weekend NO S4.

Friday 2/7/2014 Day 11

Workout

Dumbbell(Flat Bench)
90lbx10, 105x10,105x10,115x10,125x10
Cable chest workout (5sets)
Dumbbell Incline
105lbx10,105x10,105x10

Iso Lateral Decline Press
2(45lb plates) x20 x15 x10 3(45lb plates) x10 x10 x10

1 mile sprint (treadmill) 6:10

Conclusion

I'm sick, coughing up phlegm but guess what, my workouts are going strong STILL. Middle of my chest workout, I begin to feel sore, that soreness that could turn into injury, so I cranked back the sets and weight I intended on going.

6:10 is not a PR, I've cranked out 5:50 before but it's the 1st time I've time a 1 mile sprint in 6 months, + the cold +I have not been sprinting so, not bad.

Yes, headlights definitely have a yellow-ish tint to them although part of that might be the fact that older cars/some models have halogen bulbs in the headlights and others don't. My vision sides have increased a little now that I'm up to 90 mg but nothing that compromises my vision. I've had a few second delay transitioning from outside to inside and vice versa. Part of that is due to the fact that outside is covered in snow right now so the glare is pretty dreadful. Keep killing it, bro, I like how your log is progressing and it's nice to get feedback and see how your updates look from a third person perspective. Hope you feel better, bro.

s4 has this effect on some people.Your decision if you feel its worth it to use or go another route.

Today I didn't take any S4 and while the vision problems have gone down they still exist. I was still aware of the transition from indoor to outdoor and vice versa but it didn't linger as long as it did yesterday. I will take tomorrow off and start again Monday. My plan is to play it day by day, planning on going at least 5 days before another break. The problems I had weren't serious, just annoying, also, several years ago I had eye surgery to correct my vision so any problems nowadays are always extra annoying.

The yellowish tint... I know cars differ, but trust me, nearly every car is YELLOW, it doesn't really bother me but I notice the difference. Not to mention I was dosing around 70, so I will go back down to 50... maybe that was a problem also.

Thanks for the words of wisdom Travis and Hurricane and I appreciate the compliment tasride.

I'm going to keep going hard, I'm hoping tomorrow I'm man enough to knock out a long run

I'm slowly getting over this cold also.

You sound like me haha. We can't hit it out of the park every workout, bro. However, it's the not-so-good workouts that make the awesome ones that much more appreciated. I felt like crap on Wednesday(probably CNS fatigue) but came back and hit it hard on Thursday and Friday. No worries you just started your cycle it will be nothing but smooth sailing ahead as long as you're recovering well.
