Nice day, recovery is it about 71/100. Did some satisfying things, had 102 coffee beans. Today was planned to be a generally light session.

Shoulders felt a tiny bit tired since saturday - warmup felt hard, but right when I got to working weights it became really easy.

Overhead press

Warmup

50*15

70*8

85,3*8 - working weight

87,8 - 2 sets of 8

Did a couple sets of swift pushpresses with 50 and 60. 

RDL - 50 kgs - 2 sets of 15

Wanted to work my lats a bit, so I did some rubber pulling. Wanted to do some floor supported pullups with a rope and a stick, but it turned out to be surprisingly tiring. I did a set of 12 something. Well, it was too late, it was outside of my normal plan.

I really want to buy an extra cymbal, preferably either a china or a nice sounding crash, something thin and bright and "wavery", I guess. Wanted to do some drumming today, but it was too late again. Might do it tomorrow or on wendesday. I have a moderately hard DL planned on wednesday.

Now I'm going to go to a random wikipedia page. First page was a person - Kenneth Kahn, an american, but the second page was something that I like - a metal band, "Children of Wrath". I'm a little wary, because they're americans, but I'm gonna check out one of their songs and review it now.

Hey, apparently, it's also a one man band. And they happen to be singing about christianity. I'm liking this guy. Listened to some tracks on his 2018 albums. Nice, but too much midi for my taste. Then I found another interesting band - Hesychast - curiously enough, also from US. Liked their music a little bit, but couldn't stick around to listen. I guess quiet vocals just turn me off a tiny bit. I want to know there was exertion during recording. I try to do it myself. New song coming, I promise. I already have a semi-finished version. Really inspired vocal tone, maybe I'll release it alongside the finished version, if I do end up re-recording the vocals. Maybe wednesday could be a decent day for vocals, cause I'm deadlifting on it and it always makes me want to scream. Insane pleasure, to deadlift and sing in between sets. That's how I recorded the first version. For "Steel of my Spear" I had to hype up my cns a lot after a session. I wonder if I should give a shot to the condenser mic instead of the dynamic one. Interestingly enough, it costs 11 times more, lol. I'll probably end up using some samples on my drums too, maybe subtle ones.

I sort of still want to post a random pic here.

Found one that seemed "random" enough. Very curious and stimulating. It's from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Um_El_Faroud

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 ...
