Monday, July 27

Well, my question about phaeosaces has been answered - as expected, not by an entomologist, but by a greek speaker. It's here -


Basically, "phaeosaces" means "gray shields". Makes sense.
Now I'm about to have my coffee, which is 60 or 70 light roasted beans over three cups. I'm rate my recovery for today at about 57/100, maybe more.

Had the biggest thunderstorm this year today. Loud lightning, water everywhere. Helped me calmed down, because I was trying to take a nap while heat and sunlight were getting to me. I think I sort of let the stress get to me and admitted to myself that my energy got drained. Just because of some thoughts. But right now I'm way better. Hoping that I can do some nice and simple bodyweight chinups without tearing my teres major.

Yesterday I was evening out volume levels on my song. Today I'll try doing it some more and, perhaps, I'll get to mastering.

27 july 2020 - Training session

Started out really slowly. Was half asleep.

Some warmup with bands - pulldowns

Leg supported ring pullups - 3 sets of 20 - not too triggering for my teres major. I realised that some of my exercizes probably worsened my right side skewing (possibly either pullups or one arm press)
But I freed my lumbar from cramps, so that's great. And teres major isn't cramping, it's tearing.

All day today I felt like I was about to snap off my left pec, which was both funny and scary, every time I moved my left hand way behind my back.

Did 6 unsopported pullups, very careful

Squats

Tried pointing toes forward and putting more weight on my toes. Felt nice, I should try it more often. Got a real spring in my squats from that.

I did random reps 20-40-60 kgs
80*10
100*10
120*10 nice, really easy, no hip creaking due to the aforementioned technique change.

Deadlift - overhand grip only
Some kind of stiff leg technique - started out like that, I was still wearing my weightlifting shoes

Random reps 20 - 60 - 100 - 120
150*2
180*13 - lost track of time and count of reps, thought I was being quick and that I'd done only 10 reps. 
BUT that is a PR for my grip - I've never done anything like that on a straight 3 cm bar. I remember in 2014 I was barely able to hold 180 from racks.

Hip bridges - mostly training my pubic muscle lol
110*14
130*13

Managed to do everything in almost 90 minutes. Had some creatine. I should keep having it rn, it's been long enough while.

Did I tell you I actually ordered a drumset yesterday? And now even the worst one! It should arrive on wednesday. Then I'll officially be better than any online musician without a drumset 😁 just kidding
Brain does not feel smart after all that work. But at least I feel great in general.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 08.10.2023 Great day, feeling great. Woke up earlier than normal, worked more that usual. Feeling extra energy. The night was cold. I kept seeing dreams about (spoiler) The Emperor from BG3, hehehe 😉 Cause I watched one of his cutscenes, even though I ain't been playing yesterday. Yesterday, I was drained. I was drained on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at night, to a varying degree. Today I feel much more fresh than I have been in a long time. Like, a part of my brain is extra creative. Also, I have been eating rather little - a couple eggs swallowed hastily, a few bananas, a few glasses of milk. Two mokas and one small conventional brew. I'm thinking of doing bench today, and PP + Squat tomorrow. Reasonable? Yes, on the surface it is reasonable. Light-medium-light bench, sets of 5, around 120. 4 sets of 5, maximum velocity, no pauses whatsoever. When you've got the same muscle strength composition as me it sort of feels easier to bench with a pause, and bumpi...

 10.04.2023 Nice day. Not too bad. Sleep - 4/10, nutrition - 6/10. Ran out of coffee, used some of the robusta from the stash. Now having one, fighting the desire to lie down, cause if I lie down I'm just not gonna be able to sleep. Jammed. I figured back in the day I made a lot of these micro-songs that are guitar and bass and midi drums. So, that's one of the things that fuels creativity. You have to save them and listen to them. Then you get something. My old headphones are buzzing a lot. Might be time to buy new ones soon. *** Today's workout is 4 sets of 5 with 77,5 percent. A sixth session in the program which I've been using in defferent variations for everything. So, 77,5% of 150 would be 116. But I'm not perfectly sure if I can do that well in my current shape. So, I might want to get up to 115 starting from a lighter weight. Maybe from 110. Now that I think about it, it's actually quite doable and it's very late. I don't want to hurry. And I do...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 14.09.2022 DL plan - 175 for 5, 200 for 5, 210 - 5*5, 200*1 clean single, maybe even overhand. Nice day. Slept very little. Ate a lot before I went to bed, so I had no appetite when I woke up. Tried to call and message some of my clients. Coordination issues. Sometimes people just can't pick a proper time. Understandable. I often think about how humanity evolved to proritise quick decisions over slow, but 100% sure ones. Better be two times faster and 80% sure than two times slower and 99% sure, amirite? He he. Having my second coffee. Or third? Not sure. Can't remember. Today I'm trying to overstuff the moka pot. The taste is awesome, but the brewing process feels dubious. Played guitar a bit. Practicing licks, playing quickly, playing up the neck. I don't gotta play, I gotta write and record lyrics and vocals. I already made a somewhat decent verse. And I have a rough idea for the chorus. I can't believe how much slower my process has become. What is it? Playing ...
