Nice day. Feeling good in the morning. Energy seemed okay. Had coffee, felt some effect from it. When the time came to train I felt tired and I was condemning my experiments with training days. And my wrist hurted, since in my uncollected state I didn't use proper technique. But i felt something - I felt that there is a spark inside. And drums helped. I almost didn't use my right hand on drums at all today - only a few bars. And it hurted, slightly. Playing good old bass drum grooves. Felt nice.

Overhead press

70*5

90*3

100*3

107,8 - 4 sets of 3 - I brought out the player and finally rocked to some old tunes, and some of my tunes in the end there. Felt good. Not perfect, but I'm not completely out of shape. And after today I'm in a better shape.

Bench

70 - 2 sets of 20 - moderate pump, felt good

Important note - I didn't wake up at 3AM tonight, so I didn't play any games until early morning. I think that's a correct thing, to not play any games after waking up, before the training session. Better for CNS energy.

Nice day

Deadlift

160*8

170*8

175 - 3 sets of 8

Coffee got me hard broken in the head, but not too far, so in the end I felt okay.

Squat

70 - 90 - 100 - 120 for 10

Nice day. Energy = not very high.

Overhead press

87,8 - 4 sets of 8

107*1 nice and easy

120 for 0 - shouldn't have tried it that day, I was thinking it could be like a "preparation" for some heavy lifts some time soon - I'm thinking of getting close to a maxout some time soon, because it happens very naturally at the start of the program. I though I was doing 117 on 107, so i was a little disappointed when I figured out I was wrong, so I got 120. I think overall I'm "almost there", but today CNS as well as overall ATF/creatine energy wasn't very high. Plus my nutrition has been a little wonky lately - not enough carbs, fuuny. I shouldn't forget about this little blogger page, it brings me a lot of joy.

I was thinking - after I max out, or maybe after I go through the program once again, maybe I could change my training style a lot overall. Work on cardio and agility and explosive power, and maybe even endurance. Maybe I could even lose some weight. I just feel like it could be right for me, cause I love iut when I change something and it doesn't go poorly. I think I just might. I failed to buy an olympic-style dumbbell this summer, should've bought it in spring when it was on a discount.

Squats - 4 sets of 10 - maybe I should do some squats tomorrow as well, with a barbell.

 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 ...
