June 11th, Monday - a light session after a heavy one

 11.06.2022

Nice day. Doesn't mater what and how. Feeling somewhat okay. Gonna do PP. Having my first coffee. Wondering if I'll have two or three today. Overall, despite feeling not too great about some things - it's alright, even better than that. Somehow I have a convincing feeling that God is taking care of me. Isn't that great?

If I just acted like I don't care I'd be manlier. But I don't *just* act like I don't care. I act like that because I believe in God.

Today we're going 4 sets of 6, going from 108 to 116. I feel so lazy, ngl. Well, not lazy. Just a little distracted, as usual. Or as it used to be for a while at some point in the past. I wish the weather here was just a little bit cooler. Like, with the maximum of 25 degrees. Would that mean a much colder winter? Don't know.

---

Feel fatigued today. I may not want to go heavy. It would make sense to not have two heavy sessions in a row.

Workout

Overhead press

20

Overly long break

60 - 3 sets of 8

Feels good. If I play my cards right - today's session is going to empower my wednesday session.

Squat

A few BW sets

60 for 10 - decent technique, wearing a belt. I believe it's in my best interests to awlays wear a belt on squats, so my technique does not change on heavy weights. Hips a little tight. Bracing properly, barely breathing (not exhaling much).

80 for 10 nice

90 for 10 better. It's been a while since I've squatted properly. This spring I had a very decent squatting habit - just doing my sets of ten, working up to a 100 or more. I wish to bring it back. That will be helpful. Might even increase my max, considering my deadlift is so much stronger. I'll be a doing a conventional powerlifting program in autumn.

4 sets of 15 - bodyweight. Felt so good and smooth I wanted to do more! It felt so good with extra narrow stance and toes forward.

 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 ...
