Nice day so far. Didn't get much sleep, tried to nap but couldn't. Talking about stupid bullshit, gets my blood riled up. Wasting adrenaline on it.

Time to test some of my suppositions regarding sleep. I mean, I've experienced them before - i.e. "you don't always need a full night of sleep to feel alright", and today, hopefully, I can test them further. I'm not feeling too bad, but, admittedly, it's not optimal.

Having some dense thick coffee. Tastes nice and bitter. The fact that it tastes nice hopefully signifies that I'm not out of energy. I wanted to make today a heavier pressing day. Devote some attention to pushpress. Doesn't seem impossible even with the current energy level.

Played a jammed for a while. Use the old player as speakers. Really noisy, compared to headphones. Can admit - my song is turning out alright.

Trained my little brother. He didn't wanna go to the wrestling section training session. Figures. He's been stressed. He's been hurt by a certain pos. That's why that pos will suffer. I feel like it's been agreed on. Some bad people get away with shit, some don't. Some good people get punished for doing the right thing. The hardest of choices require the toughest of wills.

Workout

Overhead press - sets of 5

20 - 50 - 70 - 80

Front stretch with a barbell

130 kgs - I think I did 5 sets of just taking it off the rack and trying to position it comfortably. Then roughly the same amount of sets with 80 kgs.

Squats

Some BW squats

15 with jumpumps - 3 sets

That's it for now I reckon. Gotta be enough. Not sure what to do tomorrow. Wednesday will be busy.

Listening to a pretty cool album. Progressive. Sure to get stuck in my head. I love Australian metal. Alien Skies — Promachoi (2022) Prog isn't really my cup of liquid, but it can be nice. I like to groove repetitively. You can groove to prog if you're familiar with the song.

My random jam with 7th chords got stuck in my head like some kind of aggressive jazz. Sounds like a song. Should try to figure it out. It's E Mixolydian, the way I like it.

 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 ...
