Thursday 18th - heaviest light squat in a long while

 18.08.2022

Nice day. Slept unusually, but well. Woke up feeling pleasant. I tried to force myself to go sleep. It was wacky. It was like dreaming awake. The caffeine definitely took a lot of time to clear out. I prayed so much, fo so many things. God listens to my prayers. I am grateful. I wish I could more grateful, all the time! Turn my head to Him and feel gratitude. That's something!

So, I woke up around 4 PM after not too many hours of sleep. I felt smooth and not sleepy. Thank God, I programmed my subconscious well. Had a nice breakfast. Started feeling sleepy again, but I figured that I might have uncleared sleep hormones and that's not a good enough reason to fall asleep. I have a lesson later today. It's 6 o'clock, and I made my first coffee. Thinking about moving the PC to the drum room. However, it might be in my interests to record lyrics upstairs first. And I also keep contemplating about moving the drums upstairs as well.

9 PM. Gave a lesson, drank coffee during, now I'm finishing it off. Shall start my workout.

This time my nutrition is better. Well compare the feel to yesterday. Sleep - also slightly better, I reckon. not sure, however. Gonna have a quick warmup to 130, then two breaks for two accumulation sets. And I'd like to do more on saturday as well. I really need some smart energy management for saturday.

Warmup, all around light moves, short

Workout

Squat

Stick - 2 sets of 10

20 for 10

50 for 10

90 for 10

130 for 8

150 for 5

170 for 5 nice. Technique was a little wobbly. Tempo was nice.

50 for 5 more - to solidify psychologically xd

Bench press

50 - 4 sets of 5 - widening the grip a little. I believe it helps me not to overstretch my upper pec.

And that's it. Perhaps something super light?

 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 ...
