Nice day. Slept for less than 6 hours. Didn't cover up my window as much to ensure easier wakeup.

Glad I didn't burn out yesterday. I wasn't overstimulated. But my energy stayed high for quite a while. I didn't get an "inflamed" brain, which is how I feel sometimes after having fun.

Nutrition - 6/10, got some canned meat and oats, and some veggies again. Had 1 and a half batches of coffee. Played classical guitar a lot. I oughta record myself. Maybe even make a video just for this blog. I came up with a couple nice grooves. Not metal, but groovy. And it can be metal. Haven't been recording songs for a while. I will do soon. Inspiration fluctuates. Sometimes it makes you wanna create. Sometimes you wanna create even without it. Sometimes you create even when you don't want it.

Bench press

Some warmup

50 for 30

70 - 2 sets of 15 - mild pump, nice

Some drumming. Warmup from 8 to 1, paradiddles, hihat on 4th then 8th, then 4-ands, that's about it. Didn't do much. Energy isn't very high. It's medium-low I'd say. Enough to feel good right now.

Some calf raises and one leg raises - 2 sets of 15

Did some repeatable quests, and my energy went up. Also I've been taking nitroglycerine lately. Why? Hard question. Mostly curiosity and speculation. I know it's silly - I don't have heart problems. I think this thing helps me relax and wash out all the hormones faster. That's what it's been doing on some of the previous days. That's why if I am going to take it again I should take it during or after the session.

Really hungry for carbs. Decided to make some sketti (spaghetti). Last time they turned out really nice. You have to remember that the temperature will keep cooking them after you take them out of the water. So they have to be hard and dry inside. I really want something chewy. And I'm gonna make some decent sauce. And I'll permit myself to have a smaller portion this time.

Keep in mind - even though these pictures are random, I do pick them out myself. What is "randomness" anyway? 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...

 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 ...
