December 3rd - Nice OHP, squat, running today and yesterday

 03.12.2022

Nice day. Slept very little after playing FO4 all night just managing settlements, worked, slept some more, woke up, had to help someone with something cumbersome in a sily way (thankfully my mental training helped avoid getting angry! Thank God.) Had a small pastry breakfast. We have a lot of leftover pastries. And porridge. It was already late, so I had a coffee as well. This time I mixed egoiste purple and my medium coffee. I don't remember which one it is anymore... It's been quite a while actually. Can't believe it's just a kilo of beans. They're technically not beans, did you know that? One of those silly little annoying facts.

Yesterday was a nice day too. Didn't sleep much. Had a strangely strong appetite but felt like I was overeating every time I ate. Was really tired, "second day fatigue" after DLs and such. But I managed to run after midnight! The whole novely of running very late turned mt onto this. And I actually set a running PR! I did a kilometer in 6:49, which is at least 40 seconds faster than my current result at my bodyweight. Of course, I had to breathe really heavily and it was hard to maintain pure nose breathing. It's mostly unnatural for such an activity, I'm pretty sure of that. Had a noticeable irritation of my respiratory pathways once I came home, coughed a lot. Worth it, ha ha. I hope (I'm pretty sure) I didn't get ill, I just strained it a tiny bit.

Almost done with my first coffee. I'm doing OHPs today. Not very heavy ones, but volumatic.

Made a second coffee. Now it's 7 PM. Tomorrow's not a busy day. I'll be making a call after tomorrow. Asking. Wondering. Bureaucracy.

I'm really taking way too much time today. Dang. Gotta go and do my 4 sets of 8. Just 90 kilos. Done this workout many times. And afterwards a 100 for a "clean single". Should be nice and easy. Mustn't hurry though. Hmm.

Workout

Light warmup, very "distracted" still

Overhead press

20 - 50 - 70 for 8

90 for 8 nice, starting to warm up

90 for 8 nice, controlled, good speed and breathing

90 for 8

90 for 8

100 for 1 - nice, exaggeratedly strict. "Clean single".

Squat - finally doing it again

50 - 70 - 90 for 10 - nice, right hips not feeling perfect but I managed to avoid any noticeable discomfort.

Now I'm having a break and comtemplating what to do for running. What if I just did the same thing I've been doing lately? I've gotten used to it. Just make sure to not straing my respiratory pathways this time. Alright then.

Ran again. Time on the clock - 7 minues 14 seconds, which is okay. But I fiddled with the phone and gloves for way too long, it's possible it's actually under 7 minutes. Either way, it's a good result, considering I did not breathe heavily today. Didn't push myself. Calves and shins not pumped too hard. Didn't sweat much either - maybe cause it's cold. Close to midnight. I gotta run for more than a kilometer. At least on the easier days.

 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 ...
