Radical artificial precision

02.04.2022

Nice day, if it wasn't for some turbulations. (Funny word, I know). Turbulences. Had decent sleep. Looking after junior acolytes. A lot of arguments with, well, someone. I can't be bothered explaining right now. Vicious cycles, you know.

Worked right as I woke up, and later. Had a small breakfast - a slice of pork, one egg, two packets of quick porridge. Shat later. Stomach empty now.

Busy. Played guitar a bit, worked on a song. Played bass after a long while. It's buzzing too much. And I finally standartized my bass tone. It's not perfect, but it's okay. It's right here, so I can remember -

Had coffee at 4. Then at 7, after playing music with the junior acolyte. He too lazy. Must learn. Me must teach.

I think I'm doing overheads today. Heavy PPs. And voluminous as well. I think it should be good.

Overhead press

50 - 2 sets

70 - 2 sets of 8

Really distracted. Taking too long. Filing frets on my SQOE with a piece of sandpaper and some painter's tape.

Push press

50 and 70 for 8

90*8

95*8

100*8

102,8*8 - now I'm starting to notice the bend in the bar. Gonna try to rotate towards myself more, so my wrists bend back rather than forward.

105 for 8 - kinda lame, cause my legs ran out of juice and I couldn't push the bar hard enough to lock out my elbows. But at least I pushed it.

There's been too much time between my breakfast and my workout. Not so good.

Squat - sets of 10

50 - 70 - 100 - 120

Nice, very deep. Tweaked my knee on 100 a bit, and figured out it's cause I've been spreading my thighs too much. Kept em "in line" with feet at roughly 45 degrees.

I loved that it was very easy, and I could squat completely deep. I reckon the fact that I did 90 for 10 last time helped.

Later did some light rubber lat pulls, got a small pump after eating. Nice.

My workouts are way better when I can wake up, eat and start having coffee right away.

I ended up having sort of a heavy OHP day today. I'm just not sure what I'll end up doing on monday. I'm thinking of super light OHP and some bench press, narrow grip. I forgot about it again.

Random pic of the day - prepared in advance!

 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 ...
