Mega training montage (epic +110%)

 22.11.2021

Nice day. Slept all day yesterday - on free time, of course! I'd be ashamed if I cancelled my repeatable quests to sleep. Sometimes it does happen. I need to figure out a way to avoid it.

Woke up at 1AM. Surfed the web. Watched a cool movie - Ex Machina (2014). It's a kinda movie that makes ask question - and then you're the one who has to answer them. A lot of those questions are obvious, but some are not.

Had nice thick coffee. You always gotta rest between coffee days. The one today tasted great. Cause I didn't have any yesterday. You gotta let your brain rest. That's how all pleasures work. Well, healthy pleeasures - actual addiciton will enslave you to do stuff until you're dead. Even alcohol kills some weak-willed people. It's a powerful depressant, you now. Ask yourself - do you really wanna be depressed? Cause you will be, if you do alcohol.

Enjoyed my coffee, surfed the web some more in the evening. Not feeling very productiove video-wise.

Shoulders feel really fatigued and tight since saturday. I had issues with it, despite a lot of warmup and some careful stretching. It has to be careful when you're sore.

Overhead press - tried monkey grip today, the one with the thumb under the bar

Warmup

50

70

90 for 3

100 for 3 pretty strict, medium load

105 for 3 slightly better

110 for 2 and a half - changed my grip from monkey to conventional, really tightened my wrist and it literally stopped me from locking out. Cause I was working with my wrist agains my shoulder!

Waited, changed the grip to angled - so the left is higher, and thus the angle for my right wrist is less tight

110 for 3 - much better, pretty strict, medium-hard (RPE roughly 77%)

And yeah, RPE can't correlate to actual percentages when you're training. It has to be lower. And it's percieved, so that's possibly quite incorrect.

My plan today was 82,5% for 4 sets of 3, and I decided to curb it, seeing how I'm training more often, switching it up a bit. Plus I had some more upper body work planned. It ended up not being PP.

Carried a 55 kg heavy bag (up to my chambers) - a tiny bit of cardio, he he.

Did about 4 sets of mostly practicing my doubles and triples. Noticed I tend to push the bag, like a noob. So, on the last set I practiced some Scaredy Cat Kung Fu - jumping in and out, making sure to retract my limbs as quickly as possible. In fact, I kinda wanna share it today. Let's see... Don't forget, I'm a lil noob! I only really hope to "be ready when the time comes", ha ha.

I ended up mkaing a funny montage. So I guess I had some creative power burning deep within me. It's kind of a shitpost, isn't it? 😁😂😃

 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 ...
