Respectable clear plastic (circulate)

Have I ever mentioned before how I call coffee "suicide juice"? He he. All the little mistakes. Yet I do. Just gotta not let it get too deep, he he he.

Well, here's a funny thing I asked on quora:

"What is your relationship with caffeine? Does it affect you in different ways under different circumstances? What are some of your personal habits involving caffeine?"

And someone answered:

"I completely avoid caffeine and theobromine, a related compound found in chocolate.

It took me 25 years to discover that it was caffeine that was chiefly responsible for me experiencing Bipolar II like symptoms of depression and hypomania. Once I figured that relationship out I’ve never touched the stuff, aside from a one coffee test I did a couple of years ago that turned out really badly.

My relatives are addicted to coffee and the male ones drink, no exaggeration, 5–6 cups a day every day, without apparent issue a day. My bad luck to have some weird mutation that makes me so ill from it."

That makes too much sense, doesn't it? Ha ha ha. I need a big ol mirror.


Anyway, here's my today


Skipped out on giving a lesson. Just felt a lil shitty in the morning, and I heard the rain, so I convinced myself to not give this online lesson and went back to sleep to wake up later at 5 PM. The rain, you see, can disrupt the wireless internet connection, that that was the thing that convinced me. Not very good though, still.


Yesterday I got a bottle of water to drink and started randomly drumming on it, and after some time I recorded a cute funny track with bass and guitar and some other percussion as well as some samples. Today I rerecorded the bass part while having coffee, that was fun.


Overhead press


Warmup


70 - 2 sets of 15


75 for 15 feels nice overall, my elbows feel a bit screwed up. Might consider letting them rest for longer. After all, my deadlift has been less succesful than my overhead press. Still though, can't let it all escape. I haven't maxed out in my last cycle which ended in early summer, or even may. I normally have better success with maxing out at the start of a new program, which I started recently. I had a "first" workour in pressing moves this monday, and I had a "minus third" workout in DL this wednesday. Which means that I have some more workouts in DL to lead up to the new program. So the pressing and Dls aren't synced up and I can have better recovery.


I gotta do some squats. And my stomach hurts. Must have some milk for it.

 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 ...
