Nice enough day. Saw a dream in which a flew around a lot, always love these dreams.

Deadlift

Warmup

180*6 - first two and a half reps were overhand

190 - 3 sets of 6 - all paused on the floor

215*1 with straps, couldn't do it with a hook grip. I wonder if it's because I cut off some of my calluses. Gotta do it if you don't want to tear them off. Also I think my new bar has much worse cnurling that my old bent bar. I wonder if there's a way to bend back my old bar. It's bent in a sort of a spiral shape.

I feel like I have a rather coarse throat right now. A little bit worried. Perhaps I should stay away from masses of people for a while, since my immune system might be weakened or something. I heard men always have a weaker immune system than women. Why? It doesn't matter to me right now.

Did a lot of drumming, a lot of 16th note on hihat beats, it was hard, but I think I improved something. I managed improve one of those beats where the bass drum is on 1st, 7th and 8th hits (of hihats). It was hard hitting a bass drum simultaneously with my left hand.

Bench - possibly too late

60*15

100*10

130*8 better than last time, I think

100*12 narrow grip

60*15

Did a lot of bass practice later. First I tried to setup a stream with a mic and a guitar into my interface, and a new webcam going into a usb slot. It ended up being really convoluted, so I gave up. And I messed up some settings in Musescore and windows sound, so it took me a couple minutes to get them back to normal, so I can have Cakewalk open alongside Musescore. The driver modes in Musescore kept randomly changing, or maybe I didn't notice something. But anyway, I ended up putting it back to normal. I think my tiny old laptop isn't quite powerful enough to allow me to run OBS, Cakewalk and Musescore at the same time, as well as stream. I might return that new webcam, since the quality isn't quite satisfying, and the price is unnecessarily boosted due to a really bad built in mic.

Here's a nice random picture of the day

 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 ...
