May 27-28 - Keep up keepin' up (2 vids, 1 training session)

 27.05.2021

Kind of a messy day. Low energy after a massive workout on wednesday. Had two batches of coffee - half a fistful of beans (not a lot). But I ended up training late in the day, obsessing over my video performance.

Which just happened to be a short one -

Training session

Overhead press - warmup

20 kg dumbbell, one arm press - 3 sets of 20 each hand

A few sets of BW squats - 20 reps.

A moderate amount of drumming - first the warmup (8-7-6 etc...), then basic beats - boot-camp booty camp, then some beats with 16th notes, then I devoted some time to learning to play bass drum on 2& 3& WITH 8th note hihats on top - all around 90-95 bpm. Those are the music of an autodidact drummer. Well, I do watch the lessons sometimes, but still trying to figure out stuff on my own.

Nice day. Feels short. Woke up late. Not very well concentrated. Nothing interesting happening IRL, but online there's massive drama which caused me to make the most emotional video I've ever made (so far). Just pouring my soul out, but not saying everything, to be honest.

And that's about it. Tomorrow I have even more provocative news to cover - something else is happening in AID community. I should remind myself to stay impartial - shouldn't be too hard. But impartiality is just so boring for people to watch. If no one dislikes what you're saying - it's a good sign that not enough people are watching you. That's a good reason to show more some genuineness.

Hope to have a nice saturday. Been feeling a tiny bit anxious. I'll stop feeling that once I make a video that's not news/dramaa and it performs well. Well, my World Info tutorial performed very well - I'm quite proud of it, even though it's messy and unprofessionally edited.

Not completely random pic of the day

It wasn't a nice cutout, so watch the whole pic if you want - ion the link. Instead, here's another one I liked - ancient Delphi stadium.

 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 ...
