Nice day. Sort of better than yesterday. Got some stuff out of my system, got some back in, ha ha. I can't tell everything about my little mind, of course. Anyway, it's stuff I wish to forget.

Had a lovely high-carb breakfast. Proteins - had em yesterday. Had a nap - I do have free time, after all. Had 120 beans - this time it's not too much. My brain's developing tolerance again. That's why on lighter days I oughta have less. Scary stuff. Uninhibits me, if I'm not careful. Today I brewed it in the pot, overbrewed it a bit, it turned out nice and saturated.

Overhead press

Small warmup, then 37 for 8

70*8

90 - 2 sets of 8 - kind of awkward. The technique is better than last time, I think. Still not very felxible. Breathing keeps getting better.

80*8 mostly "super strict", which is not a correct way to press, trust me. Why? It's not powerful. You gotta have the power and activate as much nerve endings as possible. Not overdo, but have control over all the muscles involved. It just takes concentration. And the move turns out to be powerful.

That was it, I was slightly in a hurry, plus I had really taxed CNS due to usual tension reasons. Good ol' frickin pain. Things that ain't right. Wrote a set of song lyrics, maybe it'll turn oiut nice if I ever get to it. Been playing acoustic mostly, just learning.

Took an hour long break - doing a repeatable quest. Kinda feel like I wanna just get some more volume it. Time to do some super light accessory work.

One arm kettlebell press

16 kg - 2 set of 15 - training all the forgotten muscles, cause I don't do one arm lifts often enough.

Floor-supported ring pullups (easy) - 3 sets of 15

Kinda hyped to play New Vegas again. Ain't that great. Do things I wish I could in real life!

 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 ...
