I shouldn't have been complaining, ha ha. Friday (16th) was the hottest day this summer. I felt bad, actually not very good. Energy very low.

Deadlift - very late at night, dazed and confused

Warmup - some small short stretches, probably a mistake, but I felt nice and loose - which is something you may not want to have for DLs, I speculate

70-120-160-200 for 1

230*2 ez

240 for 1 ez but next rep - fail. Could've done it if I primed up my CNS better, but it was not completely possible due to it being late. Can't train late at night most of the time. I can feel good and energetic, but I can only lift heavy if I started earlied. But that's not a dogma, of course, that's my past experience, and I don't have to solidify it like that in my conscious.

Anyway, that was a fail and it drained a massive amount of my energy. I realised I'm "off-season" but still training as if I wanna peak out - which I don't really do. So I made a decision to finally lax it up until august, and then I'll start a new press program and have a maxout after first micro-cycle. It's perfect to max out then, cause you have so much energy stored up. There is no dogma or axiom in the art of training. There are axioms in physiology, but the art of lifting metal is something a bit more transendental - or at least I feel that way right now. I'd describe more, but I feel like I'm losing my point. Energy matters. Not just strength, not just the amount of punishment you put on yourself. Energy matters - you gotta have it before the session and after it. Very important. You gotta have energy after the session so you can recover better. Trust me, it took me 10 years to learn this the hard. But once again, it's not an axiom, it's an observation of personal experience.

Really nice day. Feeling better. Heat - moderately high, didn't sweat much. Energy - 3/5, I'd say, just enough to make sure I have fun.

Bench press - supersets with drumming, a lot of it. Counting, playing 8th notes on bass drum, playing the 2&&4 beat, keeping up, grooving etc.

70*15

90 - 3 sets of 15

100 - 2 sets of 15

Dips - 2 sets of 15 - mostly triceps working

Overhead press + pushjerk complex - get my back ready for pushpresses. My shoulders are actually flexible enough, back isn't.

40 - 3 sets of roughly 4 (each rep is press + jerk)

37 - 3 sets of 4 feels good.

Some 2 kg dumbbell flys (not flies) - shoulders feel tired, gotta load up on carbs. Been low on em. Been feelin fat, in fact, then I suddenly feel so hungry for so long. The time to lose weight is not yet. I think I'll naturally lose some before august, since I don't plan to push myself. But in august - I plan to start amping it up once again. Must do squats, too. Wanna remind myself. Here's what I'll do. I'll post funny pics as thumbs of each post to remind myself that I wanna do squats.

I reached 1k subs on my youtube. Been applying to AdSense, but my channel doesn't seem to be sensible enough yet. Gotta make more normal content and then unlist videos that I suspect might be considered provocative. Or maybe they'll just approve , cause are you kidding me? I'm mostly family friendly. Definitely more friendly than some stuff on TV.

 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 ...
