November 1st - Hard work, lots of fun

 01.11.2021

Really nice day. Woke up rather late, did some work, had buckwheat and eggs for breakfast, had some coffee (one batch), and then I started trecording a new video. You'll see it soon, hopefully - this one's gonna take more than one day. Is it promising? Well, yes, in a way.

Did quite some erratic work recording the voiceover as well as my silly old mug, trying to be at least somewhat more expressive - it wasn't too hard since coffee was indeed getting to me. Around 7 I finally got to my workout.

Deadlift

Warmup

230*3

240 - 4 sets of 3 - very nice! All reps were rather easy. Rate of percieved exertion? No idea. Around 7, I guess. And I'm not completely on board with this RPE thing - I don't know enough about it. But I guess it's a somewhat nice way to mark how hard the sets were.

Fixed the leaking toilet by wiping down the flushing mechanism and screwing it in tightly - that felt good. Cooked some nutritional paste to feed junior acolytes of the Order.

Grip - pairs of 15 and 25 kg plates pinched. First 30 easily, then 40, then I attempted 50 and realised my hands were out of energy, then I tried 40 and that was it. Did one hand pinches as well as some passing between hands.

Bench press

My wrists were weakened. I wrapped them up tightly and held the bar on the edge of my palm, not really holding it with my fingers.

50 and 70 for some reps

90 for 10

100 for 20 - this time a bit better than last week

Went upstairs and picked up my bass. I came up with a melody for the intro for the video I'm working on. Randomly, my feet hurted a lot of exhaustion, so I had to lie down. After roughly 20 minutes I got up - I was quite anxious to start my work. I am actually working, making something that is supposed to make me money! A great form of entertainment, something expressive from me! Sure, it was rushed, and in many ways, lazy. But what I'm doing right now is in no way lazy.

 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 ...
