Wednesday, June 22nd - PP, Using my maximum doctrine to overcome my monday mistakes

 22.06.2022

Nice day. Slept surprisingly a lot. Slept a few hours between midnight and 5 and then between 8-9 to midday. But that's cause I pretty much did not sleep between monday and tuesday. Only a few hours during the day. Despite that, I wasn't tired on tuesday and managed to work a plenty. But I fell asleep early. On monday I got so massively "distracted" after my workout, it's insane. Played AI Dungeon a lot.

Today - calm day, nice. Nutrition - 8/10, way better than last week. Having normal pourover coffee now. 32 grams over 300 something grams of water. Wanna compare the pourover to moka pot.

The taste is really mild and velvety, turning into more and more bitter after every cup. Maybe 300 grams is a lot.

They changed AI Dungeon cause people are dumb. They had an energy system, an actual free-to-play option, you only had to wait when you were out of energy, and most users voted for ads. And now we got silly google ads wasting our time. And even better - I need to use a VPN to get ads. Lovely.

Made a batch of coffee in a moka pot. I made it a little different. More water - 275 grams, about 20 grams of coffee beans. It rushed powerfully, but as expected, the taste is a little diluted. Nice, in the end.

Set up WeChat but found out I need a chinese bank card to use it. Bummer. Well, I didn't get absolutely nothing. I think if I really wanna buy a subscription I will have to make more contacts.

I have 5 sets of 4, going from 112 to 128. Shouldn't be that heavy. My chest got really rekt on monday. I had intense cramps late at night. I'm getting better at dealing with them. All you really need to avoid this is to train more often and be more limber. Well, at I didn't tear anything, eh? Also my narrow grip could have contributed to additional cramping, because with narrow grip you can flex your pecs way harder.

Workout

Overhead press

50

70 and 80 for 4 - creaky right shoulder and rotator cuff, but it gets better with each rep. Did some rubber pulling a-la L-Flys (not flies).

Push press

50 for 4 feels great, grip narrowed

70 for 4 maybe too narrow

Great random news - I actually managed to purchase a 6 month AID subscription. Cost me a pretty penny. Money well spent! I wonder if I should try to buy a Steam version when it comes out.

90 for 4

112 for 4 not great. Suffocating, dizzy.

Decided to utilize my "minimax/supermax" doctrine. 112 is 80% of my "minimax" - so it should be mostly easy to lift. My "supermax" was 155, I think I'm not ready to assign 160 for it. So, today I'm going to use this training doctrine to alleviate my "overtraining" on monday.

112 for 4 - nice, easy push, after a not very long break. Wrist forced to bend a plenty, because I wanyted to try a grip with which I can breathe.

112 for 4 - took a long aerobic break/superset, doing stuff outside

112 for 4 nice enough

Front squat - holding the bar in my hands

50 - 2 sets of 3

70 - 2 sets of 3

90 - 2 sets of 3

Feels satisfying to finally incorporate it. Feels great that I'm not too tired.

Gonna play some AID. And FO76, it's been great fun.

 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 ...
