August 27th, Saturday - Another heaviest PP session

 27.08.2022

Nice day. Worked. Ate. Slept. Woke up with moderate difficulty. Enjoyable dream, don't remember what. Had first coffee. Arabica. Very smooth. Not any kind of powerful caffeinated. Second coffee - 1/3 robusta. Nice taste. Kind of better, even. I still really joyous over the fact that robusta isn't useless now (with moka).

Played guitar a tiny bit. Experimented with RAT pedial emulatiors. Cool sound. Might wanna incorporate it. Maybe even just replace my Metalzone emulator, seeing how it's not the only thing responsible for my tone. I may wanna change my tones more often. It's been alost a year since my last release. And a small one it was. I really need to release something. I wanted to practice my vocals today. I feeel inspirationally disoriented. It was never as strong. But I do have a few ideas growing.

It's 10 PM already. And I'm only starting my workout. Hmm.

75 for 3, 82 for 3,  87 - 4 sets of 2, 90 for a strict single. Hmm.

So, let's be considerate... I'm not gonna do a lot of OHP for warmup, first of all.

108 for 3, 120 for 3, 125 - 130 - 132 - 135 (4 sets of 2), 140 for 1. Okay. Kind of easier than last time. Let's go.

Workout

Overhead press

Stick - 27 kg bar

50 for 5

70 - 2 sets of 5

Began sanding the G310 again. I think I may want to apply a lot more layers. That'll make it very strong.

Pushpress

Some squats and jumps for leg warmup

50 - 70 - 100

107 for 3

120 for 3 nice

125 for 2 not nice, fricking bent barbell. Also lower racking didn't help. It does take away energy, doesn't it?

130 for 2 better

132 for 2 even better

135 fail. Danced around too much. I realise now that I have conditioned some songs of mine to not stimiulate me because of how much I listen to them in my calm state. But some are still okay.

135 for 2 so much better. Strong push! Didn't wait long.

140,3 for 1 nice and casual. I was more or less able to hold back the tension! It's the third time in my life I'm PPing 140.

Might wanna make another video. Not today, probably.

Sanded the G310 some more. Sides, manually. Covered in blue paint dust. Not smart. Wiped it up with a tiny bit of white spirit. Now letting it rest. Not gonna warm up the paint today. I wanna see how it works. Yesterday I had a massive fiasco cause I did put the spray tip on correctly and thought I ruined the paint by overheating it. Then I put in on right and painted it again. Did I mention I might want to get another can of blue? Maybe even a can of white, seeing how good it looks when it's layered light blue? Maybe.

Did another coat and ran out of blue paint before I could finish. Now I'm gonna have to buy it. In the free time I should divert my attention to the neck.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 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 ...
