Overhead press
70 - 2 sets of 5

Pushpress
100 - 2 sets of 3

Squat - warmed up decently
100*8
120*8
140*8
160*8 felt good

 22.09.2020

Overhead press
40*15
60*5
80*5
100 - 3 sets of 5
100*3 + 1 bad + reracked and did a half rep - got distracted
100*5 nice
Basically, never in my life have I pressed 100 so easily in such a rep range (mini pr!). Perhaps I'll have to set my max at 125 when I'm gonna go through a program.

Squat - plates under heels
Warmup
80*10
100 - 2 sets of 10 - basically accumulation squat

Some time later I did mixed grip curls with an empty bar - 20 with left underhand, 10 with right. Sounds like a cool wacky exercise. I think I can do over 70 for a single, we'll have to see.

Yesterday I bought rice cakes for the first time in my life - normally someone just randomly brings them for tea and then I have some, but yesterday I decided to buy some for the first time. They're pretty nice, really nice to chew, just finished my last pack now (out of two). I guess that says something about me? Well, I finally achieved "tunnel vision" again, because of how nice my session was. Did I tell you that I supersetted it with drums again? Basically, I played drums and it was very bad. The recording was very bad too, but I still enjoyed it. My drums all vibrate from each other. That creates a lot of extra noise. I need to learn more. Off to watch more tutorials on drumming and recording!

 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 ...
