* I was able to get my window down to 4 hours today (12pm-4pm). There wasn’t much issue with headaches, only a little low on energy in the morning, it definitely seems to be getting easier though. We’ll see how bad we’re feeling tomorrow morning.

6pm - 2 Cardazol caps
6pm - Gym - Chest Day
*Started with 20mins of incline treadmill, then went straight into 3 rounds of pump cardio. 30 sec rest between each cycle

- 20 jumping jacks
*2x12/1x4-6/1x15 (Last set weight starting = second set weight, and drop weight as needed till 15 reps): Vertical Peck Deck
*4x12: Incline on free-weight machine (Neutral grip)

Great workout today. Cardio is definitely improving. I felt much better at the end of today’s workout than I did a month ago.
