Nice day.

Woke up. A little less sleep than usual - stayed up yesterday. Did some repeatable quests. Went back to sleep after some time. Disturbed by scam calls. Unusual dreams.

Woke up again. Had two handfuls of coffee over almost two hours. Nice, but I didn't get pre-amped. Felt a little lazy until I realised I do. Then i got to warmup.

Deadlift

Warmup

50-70-150

190 for 3 - overhand grip - I think it's an actual all-time PR :D On this bar, anyway.

230 - 4 sets of 3 - nice! Medium-heavy-medium load, he he. I love that I managed 4 sets so easily. I've been eating some leftover creatine in the last few days. Maybe that helped.

Drummed for 3 sets in between DLs - feels good. Not too bad. Learning to use my foot on hihats. And playing some double bass pedal as well. 16th notes at around 90 bpm. I should try to learn more raised foot technique.

Overhead press - 20 kg bar for 20 reps

Overhead press, 17 kg dumbbells (with a new olympic-sized dumbell)

3 sets of 20 reps - feels nice, pumped a tiny bit. I can feel my abs working as well.

Well, if there's one exercise that can make you really tired it's deadlift. I still want to do so many things though. So maybe I'll do really light exercises for a while as I recover.

Lat pulls, one arm, three string expander - 1 set of 15 reps

I thought to myself: "How do I make pullups light? Cause I wanna do pullups."

Well, you can't, it has to be your bodyweight. I'd rather do floor supported pullups than rubber pullups. Still wanna do actual pullups though. Hm...

Pullups - 5, 8, 10 - not bad, after all. And I kept getting heavier with each set! Ha ha.

You'd think after getting a daytime nap I'd have extra energy. And it's very early, too! Not even 9PM. Hmmm.

Well, one good thing - life feels like an adventure, for some incredibly curious reason. Things, elements, information, all woven into one complete chain-braid-fabric of perceptive reality. It stimulates me intensely. It's simply incredible.

Still kinda wanna give my chest some attention.

Pushups - 20, 20 - wider grip

Wrist curls, over and under, 6 kg dumbells - 2 sets of 30 reps

Did some calf raises. A lot of stuff done, when you think about it. I really could have stopped immediately after DLs, ha ha.

 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...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 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 ...
