March 10-11, Wed and Thurs

 10.03.2021

Nice enough day. Good recovery.

Overhead press

Warmup

100*2

110*2 kinda ugly

110 - 2*2 - much better

40*15

40*20

Bent over rows

25 kg plate - two sets of about 35 reps - surprisingly hard, maybe it's cause I'm squeezing my muscles as much as possible, trying to pull the weight right inside of myself on every rep. It's strange how lats similar pulling muscles are so easily susceptible to cramps.

Spent most of the day working on a song.

 11.03.2021

Nice day - better than yesterday, in fact. Spent a lot of my time working on the song again, then deleted everything, because the beat was bad. Did a couple of other things, had some coffee late at night, about to go deadlift very soon. I might make it lighter than the program requires, since I had issues last week.
My OHP and Dl programs caught up to each other - since they're basically the same program, but with a lot of tweaks. That means I might have to go easy after all today. It's a nice opportunity to save some time and devote some attention to my weaker parts.

Deadlift - light session

70

120*5

140 - 3 sets of 5 - I made sure to loosen the belt on the last set, so I don't hurt my stomach. Still not sure if that's how I hurt it last time. I wonder if I had any food in me that day. Old habit - I only really have breakfast on my training days. Is it a good habit? No, not at all. But I think it might be good under certain circumstances.

Squat

70, 90, 100 for 10 reps - nice and easy. I think I gotta train my abs somehow. But today I finished one hour earlier than yesterday. I'd love to play Minecraft, or Bannerlord, or ESO, but I feel tired. How weird. And that's after 180 beans of coffee! 

Random pic of the day -

 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 ...
