Monday, April 18th - Bench, PP, BW Squat

 18.04.2022

Nice day. Sleep = 67/100. Not bad. Low amount, however. Overstimulated. Okay breakfast - fats and porridge. Some work. Started having coffee. Had way too much in the end, I think. But I've become quite tolerant to caffeine, once again. Not that jacked up. Played guitar. Felt good. Thinking of different guitar tones. I think I really should simplify my writing process. Achieve quality through quantity. I wonder if I might be holding myself back. Anyway, here's the

Workout

Bench

50 for many

70 for over 10

100*12 I think

110*15 okay

60*15 a lil finished. I wanna keep it low. It's just sort of an accumulation session. Pecs feel much stronger that last time. But I am putting my muscles in a position opposed to what I need for pushpress.

Did one set of drum practice. It's not perfect, what I've done today, but it's much better than nothing. Even playerd piano a tiny bit - practiced D harmonic minor etc. Funny.

Pushpress - training the bar position

60 for a few singles

70

90 - Two singles

95 - Three singles

70 for 1 as a finisher

Today's technique demonstration -
notice the flexed ribs, bar above and beyond the clavicle, flexed lumbar

Supersetted with at least 5 sets of more than 15 squats. A wrap on the right knee. Feels somewhat okay. I should train hip flexors a little bit. I'll do it now.

Did a few hanging leg raises. Experimented with rubber support to reduce the pressure on my lats. They cramp so easily.

Enjoying this music now - pretty great, inspires me a bit

What else, what else... Something else to entertain me and my dear strangers in the future? Well, here's some

random pics of the day - a whole lot of em!


This isn't actually random - just noticinig someone is finally stasrting to build next to my tower on my fav Minecraft server :) Mine is black roofed.








Now this is what I'm looking for! Truly beautiful.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 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...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 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 ...
