Saturday, 22nd of October, 2022 - Light workout

 22.10.2022

Kind of a nice day. Woke up, worked, slept some more. Left side of my body loses circulation because of the mattress - I assume. It's higher than the right side. Been feeling uncomfortable.

A little, uhm, sad, I guess. Conventional reasons. Not a big deal, of course, it's just I don't have a lot of excitement in me today. In a way, it's good. Why? Well, a few reasons. That means there's gonna be a burst of energy in the near future, and if I time it right I'm gonna have a nice workout. Today I'm gonna have a nice workout as well, seeing how my recovery is at a decent level.

Almost 9 PM again. I should consider training earlier.

Today's plan is PP - 90 for 5, 100 for 5, 115 - 4 sets of 5. After some relatively heavy OHP. Should be nice.

Workout

Some all-around warmup.

Overhead press

20

50 for 8

70 for 5 - not feeling great. I have a feeling that bench on thursday has fatigued me more than I'd like. Left shoulder joint frail. Invasive thoughts of going on an adventure - this time through a slightly more legitimate route.

80 for 5 not enough CNS energy. Depressed as fuck. Should have guessed from my excessive sleeping. And it was actually excessive today. Oh well. Time to work on my accessory movements! They never get enough attention.

One arm press

16 kg - 3 sets of 10 each. Left arm hurts, starting from the trap. I hope it's not just from the uneven mattress. My thursday should have only had upstairs moves. Also i was stretching my shoulders in my free time. Not smart, I guess. Oughta work on my back muscles too.

32 kg - 2 sets of 10 - pretty hard today. Left was harder. Might consider working on it more.

If I can manage myself to get back into videogames all the intrusive thoughts, I believe, are likely to go away. Hmm. After all, my work is going well. I got a new client, and a call today. I was a little incoherent. I should have asked them to call another time. I said all the right things but didn't bother presenting them correctly. Oh well.

After the second set with 32 kgs I felt nice. Easy for arms, hard for balance and all the weak spots. Good choice for a day when I have limited CNS energy. I should have done this on thursday. Oh well.

Downloading Skyrim Special Edition. I think I haven't played it seriously since 2015. Gonna give a shot to survival mode, see if it's gonna be as fun as in Fallout 4. Maybe try a different playstyle for once. Magic, for example. I'm usually a heavy armor front facing guy. Not a stealth archer, he he. Love spamming alchemy as well. I was was evorjoyed to have discovered the Restoration exploit on my own, just like I did with Intelligence potions in Morrowind. On my own! That's the best when you do it on your own. I wish real life had intellect potions, ha ha. Those fuckin' nootropes are frickin witch medicine for dumbtards who can't distinguish between video games and reality. Don't take anything marketed as a nootrope, unless a normal doctor tells you to. And I mean a normal one, who's exploring your life-threatening disease. Watching House too much, he he.

Rubber lat pulls

3 sets of 15 - light. Funny, my upper lats - the ones connected to armpits - feel fatigued. I wonder if it's due to anything I've done on thursday or yesterday. I speculate it might have been my random stretching, putting the bar on my shoulders as if for squat. Don't do it on your rest days. It's really tight for me.

Squats

3 sets of 10 - BW. First set felt pretty awful, especially for hips. Second set - much better, as expected. I hope I can have some satsifying squats on monday. I'll put effort into it.

16 kg kettlebell goblet squat - 2 sets of 10. It's very tempting to fully relax on your way down and stretch everything out, but I feel it's wrong. Have to have more control.

Actually playing Skyrim. It managed to download quickly. Let's see how my general disposition changes as I get back into playing any kind of a video game.

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...

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 ...
