May 5th, Thursday - Pushpresses, not a light day

 05.05.2022

Nice day. Woke up early, worked, massive breakfast, feeling fatigued since yesterday, slept for quite a while, one repeatable quest got cancelled, started having coffee.

Coffee - two pretty much identical portions, 31 grams of once-ground arabica for roughly 280 grams of hot water poured over, then brought to a boil. Classic. If you're binge reading this silly diary you ust be tired of me repeating my recipe. You know, homebrewed coffee has much caffeine than espresso.

What else? Yesterday night I finally agreed with myself to not sell the G 310, and I purchased the necessary paints and a soldering iron. Now I'm trying to fill my brain up with tutorials.

And it's already 9 PM. How weird. I'm not sure what exactly I'm gonna be lifting today, but I'm leaning towards actually doing the heavy PP. It'll be late, sure. it's not gonna take too much time. 5 sets of 4, going from 100 to 120. Should be nice.

Workout

Overhead press

20 - 40 - 60

80 for 5

100 for 5 surprisingly easy 😀

Push press

Some squats

60 for 5

80 for 5

100 for 4

110 for 4

115 for 4

117,8 for 4

120 for 4 - three reps plus one after a break. I put gloves on the rack hooks to soften the sound (since it's late) and didn't unrack it evenly, so I pushed all wrong.

I remember an old cue advice - not to actually push elbows up, just shoulders. That works well.

Squats

Some BW reps

60 for 10 high bar

80 for 10 high bar

Feels nice. Put away the plates. I'd like to do more, even though it's really late right now. Haven't trained my lats in a while, unless you count the DL, of course. And I do feel it in my lats today.

Rubber pulls

3 sets of 15 - light, but they were almost cramping ðŸĪŠ

And that's it. Today wasn't a very busy day, I've been recovering from yesterday, tomorrow is even less busy, so I hope I'll be able to dedicate some time to music. I seem to be somewhat procrastinating about recording this currect song I've devoted quite some time too. And, realistically, you should be faster when you're doing this. Record as you write. I think it should help with being too slow. You are playing it after all, right? These days you can be your own orchestra.

I'm really interested in refinishing the G310. Really hyped. Oh, I'll be so careful! It'd be so awesome if I could replace the pickguard with aluminum one as well.

 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 ...
