Mystery

 17.09.2021

Been feeling quite unwell, but not sure if I'm ill. Most of the time, overall I feel okay. Slept for the whole day yesterday. From monday to wednesday didn't get more than 6 hours of sleep a day. Yesterday I just laid down and fell asleep for a long time. Then I woke up around 4 AM. Starting to feel bored.

Had some rice and potatoes. The meat that I cooked on wednesday got left in the over, so now it looks all dried up and somewhat unedible (different from inedible, because a rock is inedible, but spoiled products are unedible. Yes, those are my personal language rules, I'm not imposing them, but I think they make sense).

Made a decision to not have any coffee until monday. Failed a bit - instead of havving coffee from beans I had two tablespoobs of instant coffee. It seems to work. I miss my creative youtube days. If I'm gonna relight the spark I'm gonna need the conditions to be perfect. Ideally, I want to wake up not too early in a day after a decent night of sleep and get decent food, and have maximally recovered CNS, so it responds well to stimulation. And then I'll just let things happen. That's all my human brain needs to become creative.

Some time later

Well, this good session today bumped up my day to at least 66/100.

Deadlift - only 5s

50 - 100 - 150 - 190 - 200 - 210 - 217,5 - feels good

Drummed for the first time in a long time. My wrist started feeling uncomfortable on the last set only! Now it's a little uncomfortable as well. Must not forget my profilactic work. Will do now.

Also I came up with a nice idea for a drum solo - just playing a pattern on different bunch of drums/cymbals and using different drums for different accents. Sounds silly, but it makes sense in my head xD

Bent over rows as I was unloading the bar

150 - 2 sets of 5 - overhand, from the floor, not very good technique

100 - 2 sets of 5

50 - 2 sets of 20

And now, for some

Wrist curls, 6 kg dumbbells, under and over

4 sets of 30

Some time later

Lat spring pulls - 30 reps

Pullups - 1 set of 10 reps - I felt like it was enough, cause I've been taking way too much time.

Spring pulls - 2 sets of 20 reps. each hand - pretty hard, I was dragging my whole body in the tightest point, so I had to squat down a bit. In the second set I decided to do it in an explosive manner with slow eccentric, and that was much harder. I think I wanna do more of that, so I can feel more explosive.

And I decided to test my "cardio" skills after all.

Squats while pressing 6 kg dumbbells - 20 reps - pretty hard. Then I remembered that I want to press tomorrow. And also I've been cooling down for a long time, so it really increased my heartrate a lot.
Then Squats + curls while squatting up - 20 reps, 2 set. Feels great.

Did some calf raises.

And now I am eager to play Fallout 76. There's a new event with new rewards. Ha ha. I haven't done all main quests yet.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 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 ...
