August 11th, Thursday - Light session

 11.08.2022

Man, I sure wrote a long post yesterday, didn't I? He he.

Nice day so far. A little bit of sleep. Deep sleep. I prayed to God to help me get slightly more normal hours. A prayer needs to be faitful. I often wonder if should pray for specific things. How do you see God? God knows. He knows you better than you do. Not much else to tell. Perhaps one day I'll more theology of mine, if it can become more refined.

Things are unexpectedly tense. Not as tense for me as they are for someone I care about. Someone who I mentioned in "Prayer of the Unavenged" seems to be in the mood to mistreat many Unavenged. One day it'll be time for Dark Avenger to come, eh? He he. I didn't even realise I took the lyrical theme from Manowar's Dark Avenger song. A song with one of the greatest buildups! I remember doing awesome overhead press (OHP) while listening to it. Absolutely exciting your CNS, responding to your primal stuff.

As I went to bed I had a few spoonful of whey protein, which is something I've not in a while. And now I seem to have lowered appetite. Having a decent breakfast not too late in the day (decent macro-wise).

I insist that it's is crucial to get all the macronutrients. Learn to listen to your body, don't eat whatever just because you can. That's one of the problems with hamburgers (sometimes). They have all the macros, but perhaps not in the proportion that you need.

I tend to write too much. Thankfully, reading is easy if you're like me.

Some time later in the day.

Normally, I'd be sleepy now. I made my first coffee for today. I know that I'm not gonna be falling asleep. I prayed for normalization, after all, as I mentioned before. Pray that I pace myself later at night as well. Pray for me. Pray for us. Pray for the unavenged.

Today I'm genuinely going to speed up and have a short early workout.,. Having my second coffee. Also, I fiddle with internet connections and manged to unlock the social club with my double connection (higher speed one).
⏳
Eventually, it broke, however.

Okay. Starting the warmup in my room. It'll be great, swift and intense today.

Workout

Squat - sets of 10

Stick - 3 sets

20 - 60 - 90 - 130 feels nice. Decided to stop here.

Bench press - constrained! Saving energy.

20 for 10

40 - 3 sets of 5 - working on proper technique even on sets like that. Never treat a light weight like a light weight!

And that's it. Have to always make sure to pace myself.

 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 ...
