I think our prayers are being heard. Thank you!

Let's hope we can break from our vicious cycles.

Did quests today, met new people, tweaked the truss rod in my SQOE as well adjusted the bridge. Jammed around for a while, tried different guitar tones, even saved one. Kinda wanna put something with a wibe of "smokey old dark bar" through a clean guitar with some delay. But I'm not gonna play it too stanky or melodic, I think a nice way to counteract the misgivings of electric clean tone is to add power chords - more of em, rhythm em up!

Got a DL session tomorrow. Looking forward to it. What shall I be lifting?

06.04.2022

4 sets of 3 with 82,5%. And one set of 5 with 70% before that. Considering my "floating max" I think I'll be lifting 190 for 5, and 4 sets of 3 going from 220 to 247,5. Maybe I could round it up to 250, ha ha.
220 - 230 - 240 - 250. Sounds nice, lol. But not that easy. I should preserve my CNS energy. It's pretty late already.

Once again, taking a little too much time. I had such nice dreams today. It's 8PM, and soon I'll be moviing to the garage.

9 PM. Already done with warmup. Put on extra socks - I decided it's time to prevent skin tearing on my left shin.

Deadlift

50 - 100 - 150 - 190 sets of 5

220 for 3 - nice, controlled, accelerated

230 for 3 - pretty great as well

240 for 3 - nice, kinda easier than previous sets! Cause I put on music, finally. "Let the Gods Decide" by Manowar. I lways sing it in the singular form, he he.

250 for 3 - pretty great! Harder than 240, but really nice and smooth, listening to my fav song atm - Hand of Doom. Wasn't able to put down my player after the set! The experience is akin to a religious one. And many will die by my hand! (quote from the song, he he)
By the way, it just might be a +1 rep PR, eh? Ha ha.

255 for 1 - nice and easy, feels good.

Quickly unloaded the bar, wanting to work out more. Let's leave that feeling for tomorrow! I will, however, do something else today.

Squats

2 sets of 10 - bodyweight

50 - 2 sets of 10

Nice. I think I'll squat tomorrow too!

 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 ...
