 11.12.2021

Nice day. Did some work. Slept a little bit. Tried to sleep later, but couldn't really. Studied music theory with one of the junior acolytes. Had 120 beans of coffee. Rebrewed it for more bits of caffeine. Played guitar a bit - been exploring Harmonic Minor and its modes. I think I mentioned that a few days ago.

Warmed up my shoulders in my room. Did some stretching with the dumbbells for my elbows, wrists and forearms - so I'd be able to hold the barbell on my clavicle, not just in my arms. Closer to the center of mass, you know. Better physics.

Pushpress - actually, all of it was push jerk (with a dip)

70 - 2 sets of 50

90 - 5 sets of 2

A relatively long break.

Squat

2 sets of 10 - BW

70*10

100*10

120*10 no belt, felt nice, using the stretch reflex, but my back kinda bends a bit more than I'd like, really looks like goodmorning squats. But it's deep though, thighs touching calves all the way. Breathing is nice. Throat is okay - the air sure feels cold and rancid in the garage. Super hardcore. Mega stimulus. Makes you wanna get outta there as fast as possible, ha ha.

Been really distracted. Took a long break and now I'm sure if I wanna do any more exercising for the day. Well, it's all gonna be easy though.

Floor-supported ring pullups, overhand widened grip

3 sets of 20 - surprisingly easy. Must have been the overhead grip

And that has to be it. Played New vegas for a while - finally got my hands on the Medicine Stick, and sort of entered the "endgame" part. Well, took me over a week at least. Been playing on "very hard" with hardcore mode, but the game only was occasionally hard - it makes sense, of course, it's a representation of a somewhat real world, and in the real world not everything is super hard. Show you my attitude towards life, doesn't it? Oh well. I'd play with JSawyer mod, but i didn't care too much. I just love doing everything at once and filling up my inventory to the brim. Making the game more realistic in terms of micromanaging supplies would take up too much time.

William Woodsend Memorial Homes, Nottingham

The William Woodsend Memorial Homes were erected in 1912–13 on Derby Road in Lenton, Nottingham. They were built as six almshouses in memory of local builder William Woodsend by his sons, Jack and Arthur. These almshouses have several conditions of tenancy including preference to be given to persons who, through no fault of their own, have become reduced in circumstances. Or, to women previously employed as governesses, nurses or school mistresses who have not been able to make provision for their old age. The William Woodsend Memorial Homes charity looked after the property and its residents from 1913 until 2007. When the charity managing the homes ran out of money in 2007, the homes were taken over by the Nottingham Community Housing Association.

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 ...
