Kind of a nice day. I think I'm experiencing "second day fatigue syndrome" after saturday. Pushpress is a hard exercise. Spent some time yesterday at night/very early stretching my shoulders backwards - so I can fix the weight easier. It's not just about your shoulders, of course, but more about your back (upper and lower) and traps.

Mood? Well, this morning it was endlessly excited, but still too tired, cause I definitely have a flipped sleep schedule right now. It came unexpectedly, and it's among us! Ha ha. By the way - got some of my new stuff, including another large pack of melatonin. Let's see if we can use it correctly.

It's 8 PM right now. I'm almost done with my first batch of coffee (a handful of beans, roughly 100). Honestly, I have a good feeling about today, despite "old news" not dying. What am I talking about? You can guess. Maybe I can explain it clearly in the future. But I'm not gonna lie - these "old news", this whole struggle is still taking up space in my brainscape. In our brainscape. Who's "our", or "we"? The Order. We shan't give each other up - or so I believe. I shan't give them up. I can do a plenty, and with God's help I can be wise and avoid making mistakes. I wish I could learn to do the opposite of random "mistakes". Random virtuous deeds, as random as mistakes are random. Sometimes it does happen, ha ha.

People on the internet upset me. Groups of people, in fact, the ones I thought were at least somewhat trustworthy and principial.

9 PM. Helped junior acolyte with some of his things. He helped me set up a guitar rack I ordered. Now I'm not sure how to set up the whole feng shui in the room, he he. Don't want to move the table to the side. It's falling apart, tbh. By the way, I could buy some 90 degree metal connectors and fix the table. Hmm. Interesting idea.

Later

Workout

Bench press

Warmup

20 - 40 - 70

100 - 3 sets of 12 - nice and easy, very controlled. Connective tissues aren't at their best, but muscles feel great.

An energy-accumulating light complex -
5 wide grip deadlifts, and 5 wide grip bent-over rows - 3 sets

And that's about it. Maybe I'll do some BW squats, maybe even explosive. But now I gotta eat. Did I mention I got another package of melatonin? Still figuring this stuff out. It definitely felt like it made my sleep more calm.

Got a new guitar rack. Inspected my new (used) Epiphone G-310. It's more banged up that I thought. But heck, it was cheap, I guess. And it made that day a few weeks ago so much better, ha ha. And it does have a smooth fretboard, low action, grover tuners, decent pickups and four knobs.

 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 ...
