12-14 oct

 The days have been alright. Strange sleeping habits, as usual, got sort of fixed today.

12.10.2020

Really nice day.

Overhead press

50 - 2 sets of 15

55*15

Very light pushups - some

Pullups with rubber support (roughly -10 kgs)

2 sets of 15

Deadlift - just kept loading olympic sized plates

60

110

140

180*2

230*2 touch and go - feels good, really easy


Squat

60*15

80*15

100*15 deeper than normal, gotta keep it up. I guess 80 and 100 for 15 is going to be my "accumulation squat" for a while.

I'm redirecting myself a bit, from bench and squat towards overhead and DLs. Starting my usual "high volume" program on wednesday.

14.10.2020

Overhead press - supersetted with drum practice, lol

78 - 5 sets of 8

Pushpress with a tiny dip - randomly decided to see how it feels

60

80 - 2*2

100 - 3 sets of 2 - first rep with a dip, second normal


Squat

60*15

80*15

100*15


Acidentally overwrote a file of one of my old jams while I was doing some extra editing for a new one. It turned out pretty cool - I used G minor pentatonic and phrygian. Then I randomly decided to sing improvised lyrics - they had to be strictly improvised, since the whole song is a jam.

Also this morning I loosened the truss rod in my bass, that fixed a lot of buzzing that I had, tuned both guitar and bass to standart D sharp, from C sharp - was a bit afraid to break the high string, so I settled on D sharp. I haven't ever jammed with improvised lyrics before, so here's my sort of doomy/stonery/bluesy improv - in case I or anyone else ever revisits this blog.

Also I uploaded it to my vk.com page. Maybe I'll make a wiki page in my special group for all of my miscellaneous music.

Also, I wanted to note that playing with tight strings is different - I guess you get more attack in your sound, it's just louder?.. It's easier for me to play quickly that way, and to tremolo pick. I really need to do more normal lessons before I get to stuff like tremolo picking. But that's what the soul wants, eh? Haha.

BW - 107-108 kgs lately, pretty nice stuff, I even look fatter. I gotta get to doing more pumping, it's really underrated for strength development. Perhaps tomorrow I'll get pumped so hard my lats with cramp in an absolutely wild manner again. Today I'm just still high on caffeine, a lot of it. It stimulates my speech center even more, that's one of the reasons I keep talking to myself loudly. I must look a bit weird, eh? But that's what my brain wants to do, so I do it. My family members have picked up this little habit of mine in a slight manner as well - after all, we all share brain chemistry, do a degree, I guess.

Second-boiled coffee definitely contains a lot of leftover caffeine. Doesn't taste as good, sure, but it has caffeine. The trick is to brew is slowly, increase the fire level over time.

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 ...
