I actually made a video discussing music theory!

Nice day. Sleep schedule is still a bit off, but it's better. If I'm gonna start waking up too early it's not going to be preferable either, ha ha.
Had coffee. Today I once again got jumbled up in the head and could not concentrate on anything at some point. How does this happen? I think I know how. Today I had a very long break between my breakfast - which consisted of some rice with soy sauce - and my coffee intake. I had it in small cups, and a rather large amount as well. And I had some pieces of chocolate, as opposed to a single teaspoon of sugar to bind with all of the coffee, which would drastically change the taste and acidity of the drink, of course.
The "tunnel"... I've been doing something that has been making me avoid entering that condition. Maybe it's healthier for me. But, well, today I'm in "the tunnel", and I feel different. My workout has been quite hard as well, to be honest. Let's write it down.

Deadlift

70*8

120*8

160*8 overhand grip, pretty ugly

180*8

190*8 - I really didn't want to do the next set, lol

195*8 all working sets - done with a dead stop on the floor. Occasionally I did a bad rep. Been really paying attention to my nose. For some reason I really want to breathe through my nose when I'm deadlifting. And ammonia actually helped with that, rather than gave me a massive headache, ha ha. This set got me fairly exhausted and sweaty.

And that was it. I hung around the gym, very slowly putting the plates back as I ruminated on life and music. And suddenly, after thinking about something, I realised that I want to make a youtube video. I rushed upstairs and made it. I made it twice, in fact. At first I had my mic clipping, lol. And I actually used the DaVinci Resolve video editing app for the first time! Hooray for me, learning something new. And here's the video itself - mildly interesting, unless you're in the tunnel, like me, ha ha.


What else? I actually want to work out some more, even though it's almost midnight. 

Floor supported pullups

20 - more leg drive, easy

Made some tea

20 more - suprisingly easy

20 more, with legs almost completely relaxed - still easy enough. I love it, I have defenitely developed better energy accumulation in my lats.

Pushups with dumbbells as handles - I really love this exercise now, it's so much better than doing it with palms on the floor, cause I'm such an old washed up musclebound meathead, ha ha. Be glad you're still flexible!

20 - 15 - 10 - keeping it light

What else? Maybe some squats? That'd be lovely.

Overhead squat with a 7 kg bar
10 - 10 - felt wrong for my left knee.
BW squats - 10 more.

And that's about it!

 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 ...
