So here are some retro days...
ZMA and Tribulus were started on April 14th, taking them at night before bed. At first I took them with some Greek yogurt but then realized that you shouldn't take them with dairy. So now (as of April 19th) I take them 30-60 min before bed then follow up with a protein shake at least 30 min after I take them then hit the sack.
Day 1 April 15th (took ZMA and Trib first time the night before
Sleep: deep sleep and vivid dreams
workout: run at lunch, swim after work
feeling: by now much better as recovery has begun since cutting back as of April 12th, good energy for the swim
Day 2
sleep: again, deep and memoriable dreams - very vivid
workout: off
feeling: much better, back to normal life feeling
Day 3
sleep: wow, very deep and again vivid dreams - I've read this is common with Tribulus/ZMA
workout: quick run in the morning
feeling: felt great! Energized after the run and all day
Bonus: got some mojo back, gf is happy ;-)
Day 5
Sleep: deep and vivid
feeling: feel quite focused at work, but don't want to be here would rather train all day - decent energy today
workout: swim - felt great during and energized after again!
Day 6
sleep: crappy had to get up at 430 to fly to site for work! didn't sleep much
feeling: little tired all day didn't get home till 930pm - but still had ok energy for the day
workout: off
I do feel a difference for sure...mood is much much better and energy is great! I'm sure this is mostly due to recovery training but will see how the ZMA and Trib continue to work. Sleep is defeinetly deep with funky dreams - not nightmares though...
