Okay day. Did not sleep for more than 2 hours since yesterday. Felt okay. Ate poorly. CNS was not strong enough.

Overhead press

warmup

110*1 easy

about six attempts at 125. On one of them I managed to lock out my left arm, and still failed.

That was it. I think I pressed 40 kgs for some reps after that.

Better day. Better recovery. Nutrition at somewhat correct level.

Deadlift

Warmup

220*3

227 - 3 sets of 2

235*1 easy enough

Unloaded the plates. That was it.

Got my new cymbal stand today. It's so much sturdier than the ones I have. Placed my china on it, and moved it into a crash cymbal spot, on the left, close to the hihats. Placed my big cheap ride on the boom stand. Placed a single heavy hihat to the right of it. Replaced my top hihat with my cheap and light "crash" cymbal. Didn't really get to play today - it was too late. But it sounded really nice. Hyped for tomorrow.

Started writing a new song, work title "doom" - it's going to be definitive doom metal. Doesn't have to be slow or timid, of course. Don't think that doom is just about sadness and tragedy. You'll hear. Tuned my SG to drop C for it. If I tune my bass like that it's going to be really percussive. Might be nice. I really have to work on my lyrics for Yggdrasil - too bad I didn't write down anything that I came up with on monday.

Received my BBC Orchestra addon today - I applied for it in december, since they were giving it out to musicians as a promotion. Checked it out today. Really hyped. Might add some timpani and pizzicato bass to my songs. It'll be lovely.

A curious work of ark that I came across a few days ago while walking through the webs and nets.

 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 ...
