Nice day.

Overhead press

100 - 4 sets of 5

Pushpress

70*3

70 - 2 sets of 7

I decided to curb my enthusiasm and not combine heavy press and pushpress on the same session - because it effectively doubles my training stress, because, inevitably, I have to warm up properly. Also, quite crucially, the pushpress is a significantly different exercise in comparison to simple overhead press. It's much more of a compound movement, and thus more technically demanding (to a degree, at least). And I think I delivered a certain amount of damage to my knee during the last few pushpress sessions. I need to work on a smoother technique - my back is way more tight nowadays, so I can't fix the bar "behind my head" so easily. On a pleasant note, I think I've been growing in size lately and I've been looking more and more impressive in the mirror. Which reminds me - I think I would enjoy doing some bicep curls right now. Maybe even something heavy.

Well, I finally ordered my new PC. Pound for pound it was the best purchase I could make. Now I'm gonna have to wait for quite a while for it to be delivered to me. Let's pray I don't perish until then - that'd be quite ironic, ha ha.

What else did I do today? As I mentioned earlier, today was an empty day, so I did almost nothing significant. I practiced drums - I feel ready to start recording my new song. But this time I'm gonna build it form the bottom - I'll start with my super simple drum beats, then play the bass. I wish to use bass for more "melodic fills" in between guitar riffs.

Now that I purchased my new pc, what will be my next serious item? I guess I should start saving up money for my ISP upgrade (ISP - internet service provider). Did I ever tell you I was actually able to stream from this little laptop? I even have a couple of clips saved up somewhere on twitch. I think I could upload it here - as a memorabilia.

I really wanna play around with Musescore today. I feel like I have enough creative energy saved up to be able to generate something curious.

Did some bicep curls - one arm dumbbell, not too strictly

31*8 left

31*2 while touching the wall with my back, then 6 more

16 kg kettlebell - 15 reps, each hand

What else?.. Random picture of the day, I guess -

 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 ...
