October 10th, 2022 - Ill

 10.10.2022

I fell a bit ill yesterday. The first illness of the season. Okay.

Wass feeling pretty bad, energy for real at zero. At some points. Felt cold. But then I slept very well, having some fever dreams early in the morning. Now I'm feeling better. Low appetite. Managed to do some work in a satisfying way. One of my pupils was smart today, that felt good. I just gotta teach him to do things on his own. Then I started having coffee. Started jamming on my SG, playing through my RAT plugin setup. Sounds nice. Practiced a lot. A surprisingly hard exercise is jumping in 4ths. Learning to do it. I don't exercise that much, I admit.

How am I going to work out today? I think I'll come up with something. It used to be very hard to come up with a properly light workout. But now I have more experience.

Workout

All around warmup - pretty intense

Overhead press

2+2 kg dumbbells - a lot of reps, some flys (not flies)

6+6 kg dumbbells - 2 sets of 20

Pushups

2 sets of 15 with dumbbells as handles - feel pretty weak (on the first set). The place where my left pec connects to the shoulder feels frail. It's been hurting and crackin in the last few months. I wonder if it's cause I sleep on it sometimes. Second set felt much easier, as per usual.

1 sets of 15 - without dumbbells as handles, stretching my wrists. Wrists feel good. Decided to stop here. Very dizzy.

Rubber lat pulls

2 sets of 15 - light. Starting to feel less dizzy.

Rubber supported squats

2 sets of 10 - very painful at first. Weird. Second set - way better.

That spiritual journy stuff is sure mind blowing. I can't believe I did what I did. It's so unlike me, or so I think. Well, I've changed. I changed this april, and even before that a little bit. Curious. Mystery. Can't tell. Can guess!

Later, around 11 PM. I feel better. I hope I'll function okay by wednesday.

P.S. You know what I should do? I should never make a big decision when I'm high on caffeine.


Believe it or not, this was a RPotD

 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 ...
