September 8th, Thursday - Out of a week long hole

 08.09.2022

Nice day so far. At night, however, I had an unpleasant nervous breakdown, possibly rooten in physiology of mine, rather than psyche. No wonder, I have taken a seriuos doze of a psychostimulant known as caffeine, and then worked out rather hard. I have a serious tolerance to caffeine right now. Later I prayed to God and came to conclude that my diet might be at fault as well. I get enough calories, but not enough nutrients. Forgetting about things like veggies, porridge and even just carbs.

After walking up it was better, even though I was a little exhausted. It got better and better as time went on.

Having my first coffee right now. It's gonna be an only one. Today I'll squat some moderate weights downstairs and accumulate energy in my shoulders upstairs. All the light stuff.

9:32. Ready to have my light workout.

Workout

Squat

20 for 10

50 for 10

70 for 10 feels okay.

Some more guitar painting. Fixing mistakes. Adding layers. I hope it's the last bout of painting and I can get to lacquering. Note - don't leave it outside too long. The paint evaporates relatively quickly.

3 sets of 15 - bodyweight. Very satisfying, reaching full depths without pain. It's gonna help me on barbell squat.

Did a tiny bit of drumming - just an 8-1-8 warmup and a few paradiddles with bass drum. Just like with the barbell! Only a warmup. Must be more disciplines. I wanna hang some cool pics in the garage. Pics of deadlift, overhead press and music. There's already a poster with guitars.

Couldn't finish painting today. There's a little spill. How silly. I gotta take care of it somehow.

Overhead press

6+6 kg dumbbells - 4 sets of 15 or more

Curious - on the 4th set I started seeing disbalances, but not on the first three.

Stable diffusion - Random picture of the day. What a trend!

 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 ...
