May 19th, Thursday - Light day, funny pics

 19.05.2022

Nice day. Slept very little. Woke up, had one quest cancelled, went back to sleep for a few minutes, did another quest, had breakfast - the same as usual, pretty much. lept some more. Woke up and made a soup, the one I like making - some potatoes, a lot of onions, some (or a lot) of tomatoes, ground tomatoes, tomato paste, meat, pepper, other spices, soy sauce (and fish sauce). Threw in some old rye bread for good measure - that'll make it super thick. It's basically a tomato soup tbh. I translated an article from english in russian wikipedia when I was fifteen. "Vale Tudo" and "Tomato soup". These days wikipedia saddens me. It's not knowledge they seek, but power. People who have control over it. Shame! Still, most of the stuff in wikipedia is normal. Maybe one day good people will come to be in control of it.

You know, I forgot to do my "clean single" yesterday. Could've been done, if I kept my mind on it. Loaded 270 after 235. 235 was super easy. Hmm.

It's 10 PM. Sheesh. I'm too damn late today. At this point I must fix my shit at least a little bit. Well, to be fair, someone cancelled a lesson on me and then uncancelled, so I'm late. And somebody else seemed to be in need of my attention as well. Okay. Today I'm having another light session. Or... It's not right. I had a light session on monday. Hmm... I definitely don't feel my freshest on most thursdays. I guess I shall save my energy after all. A short and a light one today.

Played guitar for a while. That takes away a lot of time. It's been a couple weeks since I played electric. I was readjusting today. Can't wait to receive a fret file I ordered from China. Then I'll be able to play my SQOE more safely. Been wantin to buy a guitar kit. After I'm done with G310. I'll have more esperience by that time, hopefully.

Some all-around warmup - waving my hands, partial angled squats, etc.

Squat

5 sets of 15

Spring pulls for lats - one arm

5 sets of 10

Ten reps felt better today (rather than more). Last night I got a pretty insane forearm cramp just from doing ring pulls. Funny. I thought, perhaps, fewer reps per set will reduce chances of cramping. We'll see if I get any.

Curls

6+6 kg dumbbels for 10

Some spring curls

32 kg kettlebell, gripping by the body - 2 sets of 10 reps. Pretty hard! Makes forearms work a lot.

31 kg dumbbell, seated one arm curl - 1 set of 10 reps. Even harder, had to take pauses. I guess today is turning into some arm workout, ha ha.

One arm press

16 kg kettlebell - 2 sets of 10 reps, and one more set for a lot of reps - I was trying to figure out how to press a kettlebell. I think my forearms are rotated differently.

A couple sets of pressing/stretching with a 7 kg bar. Feels good.

I always wondered how a Rhododendron looks.

 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 ...
