20-21

Man, you gotta pay for having fun. Having fun one day - too tired the next day. That's what I was today. A little grumpy, too. But thankfully I was able to avoid acting grumpy with the poeple around me, either by avoiding conversation or being very clear about how I feel. And now I feel really nice, after giving a lesson online and having almost no serious connection issues - the sound disappeared three times, but for no longer than a minute. And I had some drum practice - once again, practiced beats from this lesson, and practiced some 16th notes on the bass drum until my phone ran out of energy. Snare is much better today, at least that's how I feel like. Started playing Fallout 4 again - inevitably, it's an awesome game where you are given choices. My absolute favorite moment from it is the taking of the castle and rebuilding it. This game is just full of style and atmosphere, just like I want it.

Nice day. At least 6/10. A lot of coffee. Jumbled a little.

Deadlift

Warmup

200*1 overhand grip - held it for about 0.5 seconds

230 for one failed rep - wrong mixed grip - and 2 with straps

230 for 2 but I think I tweaked my hamstring a bit - cause I squatted down too low, possibly - so I decided to do a mixed grip rep and failed it again, cause the bar is, inevitably, bent

230*3 straps - stiff legs

Squat

70 - 2 sets of 10 quickly

A lot of drumming, same routine as last time. Nice 16th notes at 93 at first, in the end I got tired and my tibialis anterior muscle was getting burned.

15 reps of hamstring curls with 5 kg, and then some standing curls with no weight - gets pretty hard after some time. Gotta do it more often. My (old) right hamstring is starting to get recovered, I think. My left one got tweaked close to the knee today. But a tweak isn't an injury, it's something you should take into consideration so it doens't become an injury. Besides, "tweak" can mean a lot of things - most likely it's a muscle stretch caused my flexing too hard.

Been learning different scales on guitar just now. I really gotta plug it in, cause I'm noticing that I'm playing it too hard acoustically, even though I'm not improvising, but instead mostly just learning different notes and intervals.

What else, what else... Not much, to be honest. I don't know what tomorrow will be like. Will I have more or less energy than today? I think it's technically possible for me to have more energy tomorrow, if I do everything right. But tomorrow is a light session, or maybe not. Maybe two days is enough to do the next overhead session. or maybe I do some benching tomorrow and presses on saturday. This week I have a lot of extra time. I should consider goiung through with my  minecraft video. It's gonna be a simple video that I wanted to make for a very long time. It's one of those "special challenges". Maybe I'll make it soon. I grasped the utmost basics of DaVinci Resolve, but there's still almost everything to learn.
