Deadlift

Warmup

210*3

215 - 2 sets of 3

That's about it. I felt ill that day. Ruined by throat on wednesday by sniffing too much ammonia. CNS got in a bad state, was whining inside of my head too much, using a lot of that "inhibition power" that tends to run out after some time. That's why instead of forbidding yourself to follow your impulses you should better distract yourself, before you run out of energy and follow that possibly dark impulse. Don't follow your impulses, think for yourself. Be in control. Recover your energy.

Nice day. Been sleeping rather poorly. Overall recovery quality is at about 59/100.

Bench

Warmup

77,8 kgs - 40 + 5 + 5

77,8 kgs - 15 + 5 + 5 + 5 a bit stricter (pluses mean "pause-rest" technique)

50*15

Squat

2 sets of 15

50 kgs - 2 sets of 15

Stiff leg DL

50 - 2 sets of 15

One leg curls

5 kgs - 2 sets of 15 - feels nice, no cramping today

Measured my chest after bench, turned out to be over 130 cms. Feels good. Right arm at 45 cms, left at 44,8. That's, of course, after pumping.

BW - slighly over 106 kgs. Didn't eat too much yesterday, tried to recover my CNS. Funny logic, isn't it?

Really wanted to do some drumming today, but had to postpone it. Now I feel too tired to do any kind of music. Really should get back to finishing those lesson playlists. And, in fact, I should conspect them - conspect the "extended chords" lesson in musescore, so it's easy to remember. Should repeat the barre chords too. After I'm done with those lessons I should leard more about scales, they intrigue me a lot.

Also, I realised that I messed up this week and did the wrong percentages on my overhead press - thankfully, it got compensated by extra work, so I can just keep going. Next session - monday - is going to be about sets of 8. I should probably post my overhead press plan, it's pretty great, it always worked for me. I am not supposed to be doing a week 5 workout, 4 sets of 8 with 70% - for my overhead press it'll be 87,5 kgs. Should be hard enough!

 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 ...
