Pineapple galore

 09.10.2021

Nice day. Fell asleep early yesterday and woke up really early today. Had a lot of food somehow. Did some repeatable quests - felt good. Felt good overall. "Fixed" the car - put an accumulator in there and tightened it, and it worked this time. I was afraid the thing wasn't gonna charge.

Had coffee. Today there is some good liquid in my head. I noticed it when I started riffin on teh guitar instead of playing it the way i play it normally. It's different. i'm different now. I hope to have a good workout and be able to go to bed early enough. And have a nice tomorrow. Wokring on some basic MIDI stuff right now. Whatever I do I prefer to play real drums than just have midi. But some of those midi packs give me an idea for new beats I can actually play. What to do, how to do it?.. Interesting. Everything is. Apparently there's some curious biochemistry out there. I heard some things, not sure if I should trust them. Having a seconed batch of coffee now. Not bad. First I had some acid reflux, but it subsided after I took some bismuth (or whatever it's called). I'm not jumbled right now. But I'm close. I gotta do today right. Hmm.

Overhead press

Warmup

50*10

70*6

90*4 - that was the last warmup weight

100 for 4 kinda tough

102,8 for 4 better

105,3 for 4 even better.

That concluded my "80%" of 4o4 in Press. As you can see - it's not exact on all sets, and it's only 3 sets. The remaining necessary volume shall be supplemented by pushpress.

Pushpress - actually, it was pushjerk (with a dip under the bar)

Sets of 3

50 - 70 - 90 - 100 feels great and smooth! Technique is there. Soon!..

Now actual PP - no dipping

100 for 1 smooth

90 for 1 great

70 for 2 - dipper automatically on the first, PP'd the second - okay

Wanted to do squats with 50 kgs but my left upper thight felt really tight. I decided to stick to BW squats.

Bodyweight squats - explosive!

15 - 15 - 15 - 15

Wrist curls - 6 kg dumbbells

3 sets of 30, over and under

Grip work - closing David Horne's Vulcan gripper (chrome spring) - a few sets. Very satisfying.

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 ...
