I hope you can understand the joke behind my post titles. It's rather simple, but it's one of those things that both fascinates me and makes me laugh.

Monday... What did I do? Had a really nice day, if I recall correctly.

Bench press

110 - 5 sets of 8 while drumming a lot


I think my quick footwork is getting better.  Footwork in terms of drumming means, of course, mostly bass drum. But you could use other pedals. I'm not that great wityh hihat. My Paiste 101 crash actually sounds really nice when it's shut tight as a top of my hihats. And here on top is one of the variations of beats that I'm training right now. I'm getting better. I relocated some recording equipment downstairs. I hope I don't regret it.

What else did I do? Some light overhead presses, some jumping around with a pair of 6 kg dumbbells. Great form of cardio! If only my current little headphones weren't falling off all the time. I haven't used little "tablet"-style headphones in a while. It's earbuds, but not going too deep in my ear? All the deep ear headphones are pretty awful imho. I wish I'd preserve some of my eardrums for when I'm older. I occasionally get a tiny bit of tinnutus.

Nice day. First, I woke up at 4 am or earlier after accidentally falling asleep too early. My dreams were incredibly pleasant. Player Fallout 76 for a while. Went back to sleep. Woke up to give an online lesson, and went back to sleep again. Woke up late. Had a nice breakfast of three day old buckwheat, some salad and milk. It was actually good. Had some tea - a small amount.

Drummed a lot yesterday, on tuesday. Really amped ymself up, and recorded some stuff - or tried to. I'm almost there. Almost ready to record another drum track for an actual song that will go into the album. I eed three more songs - two are already written, so i'll just refine them a lot. (It's SoMS and Brothers of War, already on my Bandcamp). And it's not for profit.

I gotta get to devoting some time to my "youtube career". Not gonna be making anymore AI games videos anytime soon. But I have to finish my Flatworld Minecraft video. That means I need to actually play it, and come up with something interesting, not just killing the Wither. Perhaps I'll beat the game if I can find a way to insert the end portal in a nice enough fashion. it's not gonna be a throwaway video - I literally spent too much time and effort on it already. But i don't want to play it. Last week was awful for me. I made some mistakes and drove myself to the brink of depression. Hopefully my new changes in life can help me. These first three days of the week were really nice. And thursday is my only actual rest day (rest from work, which I don't ahve a lot of, of course. I gotta do some networking I reckon.)

Deadlift supersetted with 4 sets of drumming - I gotta figure out a way to mark my drumming progress

70-120-160 for 5

200 - 2 sets of 5

210 - 3 sets of 5 - feels good, got a little tired, but I paced myself and preserved some of that hype for the final set. Feels good.

Bent over rows

70 for 30

70 for 20 nice

Floor supported ring pullups (easy version)

20 - 20 - 20

Kettlebell bicep curl - grabbin it by the body

16 kgs  2 sets - all sorts of funny variations, rolling it around. Feeling worried for that tendon in my left elbow, the one that I often put the weight on when I talk on the phone standing up.

 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 ...
