Cool day. Interesting stuff happening. Super light workout, very late at night.

Rubber pulls / squat with rubber support

15 / 15 - 5 sets

Some olympic stretching with a stick.

Nice workout yesterday. I gotta get more discipline though.

Nice day. Did a repeatable quest, moderately sized, but satisfying breakfast. Then I fell asleep again, and slept uptil relatively late, as seems to be the case per usual. I hung around my PC last night for too long, unsatisfied with news and entertainment. I got in a real musical mood yesterday - that was good. Spent so much time noodling, a small amount of time learning something, and some time late at night recording a somewhat cool riff that played in my head. Maybe it can be the start of the new album.

I've been feeling a slight desire to travel somewhere. Maybe visit a random music shop and touch everything. I'll most likely end buying something. Mustn't buy pedals, anything drumset related, or anything I don't need. Let's make a list of things I need for proper music production, in terms of importance.

1) Monitors (speakers)
2) Better headphones?..
3) A better mixer with more inputs
4) Microphones - I got enough, to be honest
And that's all the things I don't have that I can think of.
5) New guitar that I can have tuned to E Standard
6) More expensive bass, maybe 5 strings?

I think writing it down helps me be less impulsive with my purchases.

Overhead press

Stretching complex with an EZ bar 37 kgs - 3 presses, hold on top, hold on bottom - 5 sets

50 kg - same, one set

70 - first I tried a thumb under grip, very uncomfortable. Then I did 3 pushpresses

Pushpress

90 - 3 sets of 3 - felt okay, nice technique on the last set

Front squats

Some BW reps

37 for 10

50 for 10

37 for 10 - 2 sets

I feel like the most efficient way to develop flexibility would have to be actually doing movements with the barbell. Everything else might have wrong angles.

So, overall - nice workout, but really "distracted" in a lot of ways. Hoping to have a nice monday.

 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 ...
