Coffee

 09.08.2021

Coffee - a unique drink, a unique addiction. Pretty deadly if you got bad stuff in your conscious and your subconscious.

Overall it's great though. Just great. You gotta learn to feel good without it though, of course. Although I clearly don't feel good, ha ha.

Decided to keep it light today. Might keep it light until some time in september.

Deadlift

70 - 120 for 5

160 - 3 sets of 5 all overhand

Quite some drumming in between sets - first the warmup (from 10 to one with just hands on beats), then some diddling, them some conventional quarted beats, then some double bass - nothing too complicated, then the beat for the song (Homage to RotW (Manowar song)). I have vague ideas what the song is gonna be about. Tried to record. I'm there, but I can't play fills very well. I think I got better today. I figured out that it's seven hertas + two 16th notes to make a fill over two bars. I gotta practice it. Or just go with the "bass drum + crashes+ fill - much more energetic, tbh, just frenzied, in fact.

Bent over rows - 120 for 10

Ring pullups from sitting on the floor, legs raised - 10 reps

One arm dumbell curl

21 kg - 2 sets of 15, each arm

then 6 kg dumbbells for 15

Anyway, after a revelation I realised that if I really wanna buff up my arms I gotta get some big weight. 21 is just so light, and I don't care for strict lifts. I'm not in the best "vascular" condition to grow some cotton candy arms. I'm barely getting any "specific" pump after doing deadlifts and drumming - I got good bloodflow, so the blood goes everywhere. People love getting pumped, but realistically, think about it yourself - isn't a pumped muscle a weakened one? When you got good bloodflow you're ready to lift, when you're pumped you're already done. Why do I want big arms? I guess it's cool. Maybe some arm work could help me with my tired elbows. Maybe my elbows are tired because I've not loaded them heavily enough in a while. Shoulders are really ready for something heavy. Maybe that's what I should do - just forget everything except for overheads, that worked for some many strongmen of the past, including recent past. Only do the exercises that are good for overheads - squat and DL are good, but they're not gonna be the primary focus in that case. Anyway, all I've been wantin recently is a good, functioning CNS. I just gotta get it. So no heavy DLs until september? I guess sub 220 isn't heavy, if I get good enough rest.

Really wanna play Fallout 76. I got an idea for a "build" - I'll get a bunch of really powerful stuff and do some more stuff. Maybe I'll write about it later. Don't wanna spoil it!

I wanna get back to mkaing videos, but I'm sort of still on a hiatus. Foreleast week wasn't that nice for me, last week - 55/45 ok, this week just started. (Forelast = before last. I now it's a new word, now I give you permission to use - you won't be the only one.)

Yes, I admit, there's a lot of punctuation errors in this blog. And a lot of typos. In fact, all mistakes in this blog are just typos. Don't forget that!

Some BW squats - apparenly, they're called "air squats" by some people

Actually, I decided to make em into a 7 kg front squat - with an empty ez bar - 4 sets of 10, 3 set of 15

Random pic of the day - I really wanna put something raunchy here evey time. But it has to be random!
