Nice day. Had 78 beans too early, then I wrote a nice random midi composition. Then I had more coffee. Bought netflix again recently, wanted to watch "Galavant", but apparently, it's not there anymore. So I'm just gonna watch umbrella academy season 2 - very interesting, especially when you start to see the plot points and writers' intentions. Also randomly came across a b-movie "underground 6" - maybe I'll watch it later today.

Deadlift

Nice warmup, explosive

70*15

110*8

140*3

180*3

208 - 2 sets of 3 - bad technique, cause I start with fully vertical shins, and because of that I have to straighten my legs before lockout, like in sumo

140*8 touch and go - remembered the better technique

230*1 - easy, this time I humped the air a bit to accumulate proper cns energy in my legs, and started with my shins angles towards the ground a bit more, so the movement was normal and smooth.


Ended up fiddling with the bass drum for too long - re-runing the resonant head - ended up tuning it high and added a window decoration to it - a snowflake from a material similar to moongel. It really dampened all the rin in the resonant head. Ended up practicing basic beats for almost an hour, then I trained my foot speed - I can almost play quarterts at 200 bpm (or eights at 100 bpm 😁)

Then I ended up going between guitars - from old classical to ukulele to my SG to my cheap classical, just playing modes and jamming. Jammed with my SG on my mini amp and burned my frozen vegetables. Then I decided to search for rubber moulds - found some, they turned out to be rather dirty and black, left them to soak. I want to make pudding with a bit more jelly this time, plus I found some rosehip syrup, perhaps I'll add it on top of the pudding - I'll mix it with some gelatine and just add a first layer, then pour the pudding on top. Might take me quite some time. And I'm tunneling really hard today, if it wasn't obvious so far.

Today's random picture of the day, which is not really random -

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 ...
