Oct 14th and 15th, Fri-Sat - Overhead press

 14.10.2022

My brain has been refreshed. Something happened. Perhaps it's my illness, or the cardio I've done last week, or lack of heavy lifting, or something else. Maybe it's even the antibiotics that I ate the last of today. Don't know. I'd like to imagine it's the cardio and rest from lifting. My brain is strangely receptive. Every feeling is stronger. Nostalgia is constant. I feel loose and free in my body. My movements are different. Just feeling younger. Strange. But good.

Nice day. Somehow went to bed early. Woke up, worked, fell back asleep. Dreamy. Stomach empty. Woke up in the evening and had my breakfast. Still feeling strangely awesome in my refreshed brain. I think I haven't felt like this for this long since I was a child.

Had my first coffee. Tastes bad.

My little brother asked me to tach him to play guitar randomly cause his favorite youtuber released a song. We played a little bit, I managed to remember how to make two inputs in my Cakewalk. He's just not listening properly, but it's okay.

Almost 10 PM. And I'm gonna workout. Alright.

Workout

All around warmup - short

Overhead press

20 for 15

50 for 10

70 for 8 - Cold air feels horrendous for my throat. At least I feel good overall today.

80 - 2 sets of 8 - pretty easy, RPE 5

85 for 8

87 for 8

90 for 8 nice and easy, despite random psychological pressure.

Unloaded the bar. 11 PM. Decided to squat upstairs to save more energy.

Good ol' caffeine/workout crankiness is here. It's sort of like a high, except you're angry without a cause. I'm upset I didn't get to go on an adventure. Oh well. Rationally speaking - it's better not to. And I fell ill really quickly, so I can't help but take it as a sigh.

Squats

2 sets of 15 - BW

16 kg kettlebell goblet squat - 1 sets of 15

32 kg kettlebell goblet squat - 2 sets of 15 - nice, much easier than expected

And now it's midnight. Last week I ordered two sets of classical guitar strings cause I wanna use em to restring the old harp. Some of the strings on it are very poorly wound (by me).

A proper workout alongside recovery has definitely brought back my normal state. Feeling healther, hormone-wise.

 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 ...
