Dec 24-26, Thursday to saturday - small "music video"


 24.12.2020

Deadlift

Warmup

208 - 5 sets of 4 - all paused on the floor

215*1 hook grip pretty hard, almost tore off a callus on my right hand, happy that I can do it after such a volume

A lot of light dumbbell flys (not flies).

Something else? Can't remember. Ah, wait, I did some grip - about 5 heavy singles with Vulcan gripper, I think I went to 4-4 on platinum string with my right hand, it's supposed to be slightly heavier that Cock#3, but much easier to set in your hand. (I did parallel closes.)

Played a lot of bass, but not as much as on wednesday.

26.12.2020

My CNS is getting better. Had a great nap before a workout. Isn't awesome how you just have these absolutely awesome naps a couple times a year? I have a theory about that - if you feel tense or unhappy while awake, you mind might really try to help you get rid of that when you fall asleep. Probably doesn't work for everyone.

Also made a sort of a music video for my last jam, and posted it on Spire channel. It's at the top of this post. Decided to call the track "Cruciferous". What does it mean? Maybe it means something, maybe you can figure it out :D

Overhead press - decided to forego a "light" session and just do what I'm supposed to do, according to my program.

Warmup

105 - 2 sets of 2 - first set was hard, as it always is with warmups

107,8 for 2 reps

108,1 for 2 reps - nice

112,8 for 1 rep - also really nice

Squat

60*10

70*20 + 60*20 right away - really nice strong pump, the last three reps were hard :D

 One leg curl

7,5 kgs - 3 sets of 10 alternating legs, no rest between sets - my hammies felt very strong, nice.

Did a lot of drumming practice in between sets, I'm really thankful that I'm actually happy with the sound of my new hi-hats. All three cymbals that I have right now actually go together very nicely, if you articulate the hits properly. I want to buy a second pair of plastic-tipped drumsticks, since I only have one pair and it's starting to get chipped.

 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 ...
