Monday 18th - A new video

 18.10.2021

Kinda of a weird day. Yesterday I fell asleep early, despite being somewhat hungry. Woke up at 4AM and had some food, then I fell asleep again only to wake up at 3PM. That means I slept for a really long time. My be the CNS load. Wrist has been hurting yesterday, gotten better today. My internet connection has been rather shotty, so I went to speedtest it and realised I had VPN on for a very long time, lol. I don't even remember what I needed it for. Oh wait, I do - I read an interesting article about Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder's fight on quora and went to check the fight highlights on youtube, and there was this TV channel that had regional restrictions, so that's when I switched to USA. And I din't even watch it! And all this time it's been really shotty. Ha ha, how funny.

Having coffee right now. Have done some repeatable quests. Wanna record a song, any song. I oughta work on my song structures. Well, I have my own semi-unique simplistic structure - verses and choruses, 4 bar melodic passages, 8 and 16 bar long melodices that break the song for a distraction, that sort of tell as story without words, just like classical music.

Trying to figure out more about 7th chords on the fretboard. It's a lot of. I've been thinking about making my next music purchase a telecaster, but I think I'm not gonna settle for it. I'd buy a conventional acoustic with bronze strings, but I want it to be something special, and then I start to wonder if it's worth the money.

Okay, you won't believe what happened. I think I made another video. And this time with my face in it? A random ass face reveal? Cause I wanted to make a video for a long time now. I'm just gonna wing it, ha ha. Minimal editing, face in. I hope I don't regret it! xD

Okay. Here's the video! And yours truly in person.

Now for the workout.

I decided to do deadlift instead of light squats, cause I gotta train my OHP more often than once a week, and I decided to move it to wednesday.

Deadlift

Warmup

50 - 100 - 150

190 - one and a half rep overhand grip - not bad for me. I gotta train it more if I really wanna do mkore than 3 reps

210 for 5

212,8 - 2 sets of 5 - not bad, forgot to increase the weight though

217,8 for 5 - nice, sufficiently easy, shakin a bit though

Drummed a lot. My double bass pedal is better. I can play 16th note paradiddles at 88 BPM. Kind of a PR, hehe. Not completely clean, but nice. I gotta learn to do more conventional stuff. I like good ol' boot-camp-booty-camp beat (that's when the bass drum is on 1 + 3&). I just love it. Played some different stuff too. Somewhat clean 16th note bass pedal at 88 bpm as well - for one beat though, it goes 1&2 - 3e&a - 4& for me. You can understand it if you play drums xD I'm not really the most proficient player, ngl. I really gotta learn more theory and learn to play conventional grooves. I'm pretty groovy. I got the feel for it.

After deadkift I randomly decided to do a grip trick and flipped a 25 kg plate. pretty sure I've done it before, in the past. It's not the most impressive thing ever, so I managed it on the first attempt. You wanna try doing it with thick bumper plates, that makes it harder. Plus it's less risky. Although you can crush your big toenail with a pretty light bumper plate if you drop it xD That's how I did it once in 2012. Man, it's been so long. Ain't life moving quickly? He he he.

Spring lat pulls - 2 sets of 40 reps - got some pump, pretty hard

Okay. A little bit too much time had passed, and I decided to actually transfer some exercises to tomorrow. Will I be able to remember what I want to do? Cause it'll definitely brighten up my mood, since I don't have much to do tomorrow (except for some repeatable quests in the evening).

I can't really slow down my streak. I oughta make a recording tomorrow. I have two plans - I kinda wanna make a very specific video about The Sims 3. Something like "being a menace in teh neighborhood". Cause I discovered there's some stuff you can do in the game and I'd love to imagine some funny things happen on a grander scale.

And there's more stuff to explore in NAI. All teh updates, et cetera. And et cetera! Hehehe.

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...

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 ...
