25 et 26 november, wed and thurs

 25.11.2020

Simple day. Had a lot of coffee - too much, but didn't get screwed up. Nice.

Deadlift

Warmup - nice and explosive, although my joints do feel a bit tired of my weightful regularity.

220 - 2 sets of 2

223*2

And that was it.

Jammed for a bit with my new TH-U metal plugic (a variety of amp simulators). Couldn't help myself, bought it recently, since they were offering it with a discount. So far I am quite pleased with the tones.

Made a really cool jam in 5/4, simply named it "a chromatic experiment in 5/4". It's the best jam I've played in the last week, really captivating. Also I used curious drum samples - wanted to drum before a session, but felt like it would really load my CNS. What if it's the drums that make me really jumpy?!.. Gotta get my hands on some kind of earplugs. I think I'll upload the track some time soon.

Nice day.

Had too much coffee. Didn't get screwed up, thankfully. That means my chances of "crossing the border" are higher again. So I have to be extremely cautious next time.

Surfed a lot of the internets. I want to find friends in metal, someone who would be interested in reviewing and criticizing my music/ideas/performance et cetera. And I could provide the same. And, perhaps, we could make a collab of some kind. And at some point soon I think I might end up making musical content/vlogs and such. I feel overfilled with creativity, gotta let it out. That's why I decided to check out that one new metal forum.

Overhead press

Warmup

50*12

70*10

90 - 3 sets of 6 - nice

103*1 extra strict - nice

Some fun stuff, some jumping around while listening to the croatian band Aeon - found them of "rare metal archives" forum. Found it through this blog https://strappadometalblog.blogspot.com/ and realised I'm already registered there, circa 2012 - https://heavymetalrarities.com/

Did a tiny bit of pinching and waving plates around. Overhand curled 50 kgs with my back to the post, tried 60 and 52, but to no avail, had to cheat. Then did a few reps with 30 kgs.

Then I was done. Here's the jam -

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...

 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 ...
