Okay day

 08.09.2021

Okay day. Nice enough. A little nervous. Thankfully, not emotionally nervous. There's a difference.

Coffee - quite some. Time = rather late (around 10 PM).

Bench press

50

70

100 - 4  sets of 15 - rather hard. No accumulated energy. Pressing moves love it when you train them often. I didn't. Satisfied - today I accumulated.

Played bass, and with bass - trying to figure out if it sounds good. Not really. I gotta get small hex wrenches to adjust the bridge. Rattling isn't as fun anymore. And comparing to Joey DeMaio tone - mine is plain. I know I can make it good though. First - I need to adjust the bridge. They only send you the big hex bar, not a small one. Disappointing. There's probably a set of these somewhere in the house. My chances of finding it are miniscule. Have to pay money.

Been worrying about money. Not much of a "fowl of the air" or "lily of the field". Well, reflecting on it made me feel easier. Now I don't care again. Just gotta do what I gotta do. And I decide what that'll have to be.

Pushups - 60 reps.

My joints have been feeling so much better. Great stuff. Maybe I can even figure out a good profilactic exercize for my elbows.

Wrist curls, under and over - 6kg dumbbells, 2 sets of 30 reps. It's surprising how easily it pumps my forearms. Making sure they're long range - so I'm opening up my fingers, on overhand too. They're just hanging from the fingertips in the bottom position. Actually a good exercise. Not for strength development, but for pumping and maybe health.

Drag curls - 2 sets with 6 kg dumbbells, a lot of reps. Gonna do more tomorrow.

Also, I think I'm gonna finalize mixing all my tracks for my EP tomorrow. It's been too long!

 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 ...
