Rest day. Thankfully, I wan't too busy today. Ended up sleeping too much, just like on sunday. Played drums a tiny bit. Played Bannerlord a tiny bit as well. Basically, on monday I got so overcharged I just had to sleep all day today.

Another training day, and a wednesday too! There's something so magical about wednesdays. To me, wednesdays have been associated with training, foir a very long time, so it's a ubiquitously exciting day.
It's 15:26 right now. I'm reminiscing about the old days - 2012, when I was really deep into doom metal. I'm listening to the band Pilgrim, which I enjoyed back in the day. I searched for them on metal archives and found out that it was almost a one man project as well. One guy, one bassist and one drummer. And the guy behind the band died in 2017. He was only a couple years older than me. I already outlived him. Realisation of that is a strangely touching sensation that made me tear up in my eyes. Why is death so... special? Why does it exist? Why can't I believe that it exists? If if had to guess, I'd ask my subconscious, and it would probably tell me that it perceives the world through a selection of specific philosophical principles, which were developed in me ever since I obtained consiousness. And what are those principles?.. I one that one of them tells me that there's more in the world that I can see, or percieve, or imagine, or think about. And what does that mean? Curiosity is wihtin my nature. The knowledge of something existing excites and inspires me.

The way you walk really says a lot about you. I feel like I was around like a suspicious ape. But I remembed the days when I would have the stride of a hero, a brave and honorable savior of the people. I was much younger back then (rather than older, ha ha).

Overhead press

Warmup

70*8

90 - 4 sets of 8 - pretty nice and light, not too strict, of course.

Overhand pullups, medium grip

15+5 felt good and much easier than expected

Floor supported ring pullups

20, then 21

Bodyweight squats

3 sets of 20

That's it for now. I gotta recharge my blogging powers, ha ha.

 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 ...
