28th of November, Monday - One arm press, pushups, some running

 28.11.2022

Last two days were high-energy. Yesterday too. Played FO4 a lot. Got seriously engrossed in building one of the settlements with a modded kit. There's a lot to figure out there.

Woke up kinda late, worked, had a moderate breakfast, worked some more, feeling a little too lax for my own taste, started having coffee. Bought Egoiste Velvet pack arabica. It's nice, but not as subtle as I like. Feeling a little angry for memory reasons. Wanted to have a third coffee and feel right about it. Now I'm doing it. Mixed it from three brands I currently have. Jardin robusta surprised me last time. Bitter, dark, stale, but strangely enjoyable.

Trimmed my mustache a bit. Ended up pretty small. Not too small, thankfully. I look a little more serious because of that now, especially after cleaning up the rest. Never had a mustache like that, so that's quite and experience.

I really hope when they finally make FO5 it's gonna be a more hardcore in an intricate way, detailed, you know, realistic. It's gonna be oriented towards zoomers AND generation alpha... I don't have the best expectations, ha ha ha.

Very late. Almost 9. Gotta have my proper workout and go for a run. Gonna feel good. Gonna set a PR (I hope).

Workout

Upper body warmup, a lot of L-flys (not flies)

One arm press

16 kg - 3 sets of 15 - feels good. Left side needs to work for balance.

32 for 15 - way harder than it should be, ha ha.

Wall pushups - 2 sets

Damn, I can't wait to go. Oh well, bureaucracy is life.

Pushups

2 sets of 30 feels okay. Pretty hard at the same time. I hope it's because of all the pre-load, as well as saturday work. Might wanna push performance at some point.

Now I feel ready to run. Do pullups now or after? Makes sense to do after (or not do at all, ha ha), if I wanna run well. Hmm... I have an idea for a somewhat more curious route. Better than last time... More smooth, hopefully.

Warmup - rubber supported squats for a while

One kilometer "run" - stopped the timer at exactly 8 minutes. Well, I tried a different route, it was mostly uphill, so that's something. Air was cold, then it got warm. I'd prefer to be more careful. I gotta run more often, and possibly not at night. It's serene, though. But hey, the air has to be warmer during the day, right? I'd hope so.

Decided to tighten my boots a tiny bit. That was a mistake, possibly (can't be sure). Shins got pumped hard, front and outer sides. In a way, that's good. Man, I gotta do it every day while I have time. Need to take a walk somewhere tomorrow. I should try running. Great idea, honestly. So many different ideas I wanna try.

Random picture of the day - The Memorial to the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation, usually called the Civilian War Memorial, is a war memorial and heritage landmark in Singapore next to Esplanade MRT station. From this link

 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 ...
