August 17th, Wednesday - Unusual deadlift, fasted workout

 17.08.2022

Nice day so far. Woke up around 3 or 4 AM at first after about 6 hours of sleep, played some GTA Online and had a proper meal. Then the heat started rising - didn't feel good. Fell asleep for a while and woke up at 7 PM. I still have a pretty weird sleep schedule. Is it problematic? Partially. Thankfully, I do get enough sleep to work out well. And the nighttime is simply so alluring. No people, no heat. I've not been feeling that positive about people lately. Rationally - I love people. On a gut level - not so much. Only my "close ones", and even they make me suffer quite often. Like when somebody forgets to close the fricking garage door. And the house get flooded with fricking fumes. Take me out now, please. Don't make me fricking suffocate.

Ah, sorry about that. I would edit and remove all the cusses, but I find it somewhat disingenuous. It's my "flow of the consciousness", isn't it?

Ah, money. The old tale. I hate money pathologically. I'd prefer to never have to deal with it. I really hate it when I show signs of greed or anything of the sorts. I'd let me be abused and lied to in order to not have to submit to Mammon. That's why I'm rather calm. Perhaps it's a virtue. Perhaps that's one of the qualities my education gave me. "Zen", if you will, he he. I can't help but think my father was right in more ways than one. A person like me doesn't need to be a money maker, but a soul saver. Perhaps I'm easily corruptible, Well, that's a strong general statement, thus it's most likely incorrect. Anyways... I shan't submit to Mammon! I am always like a "fowl of the air". I wonder if a moth can be qualified as a fowl? Probably not, ha ha. There's something about a moth that makes it more elegant than a bird. It looks a bit more like a construct than an animal. I just love the image of a moth. That's definitely coffee talking, ha ha. I wonder if this sounds insane or not. I guess it depends on the reader's mood? He he he. Well, all the constant cackling probably doesn't help 😂 I can't help it - I feel strangely great right now. Good sleep, decent food, regardless of anything. Hmm. Always pray to God. Well, now that I mentioned God's name (or title?) I think it'd be appropriate to replace my sweaing with euphemisms. Still human and genuine enough.

I've been listening to a lot of mostly random cool music while playing GTA. That lead to me constantly hearing music in my dreams. Isn't that amazing? It's absolutely fascinating.

It's 9:26 PM. Not that late, actually. I have a swift workout in mind.

Finishing my second coffee. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the second time I'm only having two coffees? Tomorrow's not a very busy day either.

Nine forty six... Time to go and start it. Start with a light warmup here.

Workout

Light all around warmup. Thinking of lyrics for the song. I might have something. It may be clichee, but sufficiently inspired.

My quick DL warmup -

20 - 50 for 10

90 - 130 for 10

180 for 5 overhand, wide grip. Micro PR, perhaps 😁 It was indeed hard, and the range is much longer.

Deadlift

I randomly decided to do a wide grip DL. Today's quite a rather warm and humid day, unlike monday. The warmup had me breathing very heavily. I did speed it up. I was convinced!

And it is, quite technically, a fasted workout. How funny. Cause I last ate at 5 AM. Hmm.

210 - 2 sets of 6, wide grip - hinestly, really hard stuff. RPE - more than 8! Unusual exercise and fasted.

Anyway, it's okay. Some stuff happened, nothing singificant, but not too bad.

My spirits are uplifted. Burning. Tightening the spring. And it's not bad. I feel great right now. I just really gotta hve more nutrition and sleep discipline. Fowls of the air! Hawks with sharp claws. Good eyesight.

I wrote so many lyrics. Not too bad. I have to apply them. One day I'll learn to do it better, more conscientiously.

Today I still have some working out to do.

Overhead press

A pair of dumbbells - 2+2 and 6+6 (2 sets) - for 15 reps - feels so good. It just connects to my CNS in the rightest of ways.

Tomorrow's a really light session. I expect squat 150 to feel easy - it's gonna just one set anyway. And some light bench and maybe more OHP. This time I want to not stretch my pec. Find a way somehow.

Today's random pic of the day is stuff I've been playing with in Dalle-mini, and also normal

 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 ...
