Possible PP technique tweaks and AdSense mistakes

NOTE TO SELF - PUSH ELBOWS TO THE FRONT WHEN PUSHPRESSING

It's one of those rather inane but valuable training tips you always forget. Today I've been PP'ing, as evident.

Very nice day. Nice recovery, I don't feel any cortisol in my blood. Smooth sleep, staying chill. Decent nutrition, maybe even 7/10 I'd say. Did some repeatable quests, enjoyed my coffee. Jamming, trying to play Black Sabbath. I was able to figure out how to play Children of the Grave correctly after some site presented me with wront tabs. I felt a bit out of shape today, since it's been so long since I last played the electric guitar.

P.S. I think I gotta start using a slightly narrower grip on PPs - so that my wrist doesn't have to bend inwards.

Another big thing, possibly a revelation - I think I might've figured out my AdSense problem. Cause I created it the wrong way the first time. It's been so frustrating I might've been unable to read the instructions. Now I remember that I had to type in my site name, and apparently that's not how you're supposed to do it. Oh, silly me! I do so hope I'll be able to finally achieve it now. It said "When starting a new AdSense account, only create one through YouTube Studio. Doing so on another site (such as the AdSense homepage) will not work."

Overhead press

Warmup

70*5

90*3

100*2

110*2 nice

110*0 bad technique - held on my chest for too long and opened up my palm. You gotta grip it tight!

110*2 better

The plan was 85% - 4 sets of 2. I'm splitting it to include PP.

Push press

50

70*3 - 2 reps push jerk, 1 PP

100*2 - one push jerk, one pp

110*2

120*2 not bad

130 for 2 - really ugly, but i'm glad I managed to lock out my elbows. The first one was really dubious - I locked out my elbows, but didn't fix my torso

130 for 1, and one fail - same issue

I gotta retry the old grip and pull my elbows to the front - cause then, I reckon, the bar won't go tot he front as much, and it'll be easier to transfer the power.

Played drums for a few sets. Wrist feels more or less okay.

Gotta continue coolding myself down. It's what i've been needin for quite a while now. Cool that CNS and psyche of mine. Works so well. I feel content for the first time in a long time. Great stuff. And not block out the sun too much - helps me stay awake during the day, and thus fall asleep easier at night.

Full range flys (not flies)

6 kg dumbbells - 3 sets of 15 reps - pretty hard after all the pressing work, feels great

 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 ...
