Subjectively my CNS felt fried after yesterday's heavy lower body workout.
Based on feel I would not have worked out today, but the TapTester said otherwise - I did an 80 and then an 85, 9 taps higher than before yesterday's workout.
So I went to gym and what do you know I had a good workout and set PRs across the board!
Goes to show going by feel isn't that accurate

Well done
When you hit the gym, you knew that your CNS had recovered and that you were ready for a good workout
Motiuvation and self confidence = good workout
BTW I just did 84 => good WO expected

Well as I mentioned above the tapper said my CNS had plenty of juice yesterday and I went to the gym warmed up and did a few light olys and they were flying and snappy, and then after did my regular upperbody workout and got PRs in every exercise I did! Workout was 2.5 hours long too - no problems.
Now today my CNS feels ok for some reason and I tapped out 83 on my first go just then
Waking Heartrate was normal as well.
Hmm two 2-3 hour heavy workout days in a row - and my CNS cruising - who would have thunk
guess my work capacity is greater than I thought

110 presses in 10 seconds... good or bad? I just worked out pretty heavy yesteday, body is thrashed - or feels it. Immensely sore.

he is hyped
Body maybe sore, but your CNS is in overdrive from the training.
what do you get for 2secs?
Which is more a test of pure speed. I get 20.
It doesn't matter what you measure in any case for 10secs, its a tool to compare your trends over time vs the training components and fatigue generated. Do it the same way everytime, I use my right hand, index finger.
If you use 2 hands it will be faster, but that is cheating

I don't take any caffeine, nor any stimulants for that matter.
