16 january 2021 - light session, new song by Scroll Of a Champion

16.01.2021

Nice day. Got a bit disturbed at first today. Kind of mixed feelings. Didn't have any caffeine on friday, so I might have gotten a bit screwed up from coffee today. Well, some creativity came from it.

Ring pullups

2 sets of 10 - floor supported

2 sets of 10 - with legs raised, from the floor


Bench

Warmup, some pushups

70*15

110 - 2 sets of 15 - very easy, nice.


Squat

40*10

Shoulder started hurting, decided to change the exercise.

60*10 and 40*10 front squat


A lof of angry drum practice. Recorded myself with a phone, decided to make the "rawest" song possible. Well, I made pretty raw one. And I accidentally improvised the edgiest lyrics - I think I was in that good old doom metal mood. Posted it on spotify, shared it in a couple of other places.

This song is a jam - which means it was quickly improvised. It's in D Minor, like most of my songs currently. This one is super simplistic, since I was going for that "raw" feel. Ended up being more doom that I expected.



Lyrics:

Dark rooms

Cold streets

I've seen inside of my own soul

What did I see

I cannot see me


Why does the world have to be what it is

Why does the world have to be what it is

I have seen seen

Inside of my soul

What am I really

What have I done


This world is a place for the tortured

This world is a prison for all who can see

This world is a place for the tortured

This would is a prison for all who can think


I strive to believe in the truth

On my way

I have seen people

I've seen inside of my soul

What have I seen

What have I done


This world is a place for the tortured

But I am the one who chooses to live

I am still

Alive


For a (not very) random pic of the day - here's an inspiring pic of an old house that I used for the cover of this song.

 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 ...
