Nice day. Quiet days. Nothing to do. Well, I actually only lost one thing I normally do, and only for a few days. So, no complaining.

Sleep - nice, at least 6/10 despite not sleeping for too long. Nutrition - great, at least 79/100 somehow. At least that's what it feels like. CNS recovery - 6/10, coincidentally the same as sleep.

Had coffee. Ran out again. Shouldn't have bought a 250 gram bag. Had some old robusta. That was the second batch, I ran out on the second batch and had to have a mix of robusta and arabica. It was nice. I dislike robusta way less now. It can be as good as arabica, I believe. Ended up having some olives and herring with coffee. Curious combo. My stomach hurted for a few seconds, unfortunately, but it went away quickly.

Deadlift - only sets of 5

50

100

150

190 straps

210

220 easy enough

230 for 5 - nice, really hard last rep, my knees shook like they haven't done in a long time. Gotta work on my legs more. It just might be a PR, especially considering how long I waited, all bent over, to do the last rep, trying to catch some air through the congested nose. You see, when you're deadlifting the pressure keeps rising in your body with every rep, so after some time your nose just closes up. At least mine does. For some reason you really want to breathe through the nose while lifting. Maybe you get more oxygen that way.

Took a long break, unloaded the bar. Then another long break.

Bicep curls

6 kg dbs - 2 sets of 20

17 kg dbs - 2 set of 20 - so much easier than last time. Arms are already in a nice shape. In fact, I've been looking extraordibarily buff lately. Kinda even like a comic book batman, as I noticed today in the window reflection. And like a guy in a power armor when I put on my coat. Funny stuff. That's what you get for not checking yourself out for a long time. And if you do - you can't notice the difference.

Supine ring pulls

3 set of 20 - turned the second set quite fierce by amping up my speed, lovely stuff

Against my expectations, I'm playing AI Dungeon with the new weaker engine. And I'm enjoying it. How weird!

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...

 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 ...
