This is part of the beauty of The Blueprint.. there is no guessing at the physiological effect we're imposing.
Heart rates don't lie
If it's jumped by 8 beats or more (didn't see your starting point), you may already be there..

will def check heart rate in the morning to be sure. kinda odd for that big of a jump i would assume.

ok so day 3 is almost over for me. got three more hours of work. just got done with workout 2. found myself real tired and weak...especially on the bench. same meal plan as yesterday just without the almonds b/c my co worker ate all of them. and yeah he paid me for them when i found out. just feeling drained but not sick. but over half way done.

Totally natural and fully expected. Do take care on workout 3 and remember, health first.
Otherwise, outstanding work thus far!
