Monday, 31st - Nice workout

 31.01.2022

Not a bad day. Woke up, had three eggs and some spaghetti for breakfast, did repeatable quests, had tea, started having coffee, ordered some groceries - really wanted some sweets with my coffee, and I think it helped me to not have my CNS overstimulated. One good use for sweets - close catabolic gates, help slow down caffeine ingestion. And, most and foremost, a really nice training session, got a good hit of endorphins.

Bench

Tiny warmup

50 for some reps

70*15

70*15 still a little squeaky and creaky

80*15

80*15 finally achieved warmup here - felt a "micro pump", when you get it - you know you're ready

100*15 average, kinda harder than I wish it was. Well, I am not completely in shape since the illness

100*15 made the reps more strict - gave myself a mental direction to go for "179 degress in elbows, 89 degrees to the floor" - to make sure I don't overextend my joints. Felt good enough. I'm regaining form again.

Got a nice pump. Decided to devote some attention to my arms.

EZ bar curl - somewhere in between normal not too strict curl and drag curl. Well, some reps were drag curls, the latter were stricted

27*15

47 - 2 sets of 15 - nice, strong pump, measured roughly 45.5 cms on my right arm, and almost 45 cms on my left. They look big. Mostly cause I'm big as a whole right now.

A break

Squat

10 reps

50*10

70*10

90*10 nice

Drummed a lot today - basic practice, going from 8 to 1 and back each hand, then some paradiddles, then basic grooves, then a bit more complex, then I switched to my phone metronome, then I played slow beats, then I tried coming up with fills, considered tuning the drums (we'll leave it for the future), I really would like to make it so my high tom doesn't resonate to the snare. How do I do that? No idea. Maybe move it, or just take it off? I wonder if it'd audible if I mic'ed em all separately. Or course, there is charm in a single mic. And you can augment your drum recording with separate samples. I know I did, and it sounds okay. Wanna make a new song, but I often feel like I got nothing theme-wise. But I do have plenty of pre-recorded texts. Well, some. So that means I do have a theme. Kinda wanna make a bunch of similar songs. That'd be cool. Slow, doom, tritones, power chords. Then I'll record drums on top of em, after listening to em for a thousand times. Kinda wanna change strings. Got Mammoth Slinkys. Gonna be too much for D standard. Maybe C# would be okay, or even A.

Finally got around to watch "Fargo" show, season 2. Watched season one in january 2019. That means something. 2019 was an unusual year. I almost graduated this year, so that's good. Got my new occupation that year, started to believe in myself more. Then in early 2020 I finalized my graduation, and had the ceremony in july. And now I'm supposed to be a bachelor of theology. Maybe I will go further down this path, one day. Hope some of my issues will be fixed dealt with by that time. What do I mean by that? It's for you to know, or to guess. It's not much of a mystery, but it's not clear. I can't allow myself to make it clear. Let's just say there are some bad unpunished people out there, waiting to be punished, cause the law didn't care. Oh, it pretended to care, then it shat on my head. Fuck the bureaucrats. I'll be ready when the time comes.
