7th of December, 2022 - Volume deadlift, some running

 07.12.2022

Nice day. Slept very little. Woke up too early, had breakfast, waited, worked, then fell asleep too hard for too long. Slept until rather late. Yesterday I tried to run, but energy was low. It was colder than usually. I did one kilometer, mostly walking. For a moment felt a little ill today. Not sure if I wanna run.

Great news - the bureaucracy is moving forward. I have somewhere to go and something to do tomorrow. I wonder if I'll have a chance to write anything once I'm there. If I will, it will be very short and obscure. Just like normal life.

20:37. Finished my first coffee. Mediocre, but alright. Wanna order groceries. Wanted to do it early yeserday. Really want eggs for some reason. Never in my life I've had such an appetite for eggs. I wonder if it's psychological.

Pretty late. I got DLs today. Not the heaviest ones. 4 sets of 8, going from 200 to 210. Should be easy, just like OHPs on saturday. And then I'll be warm enough to run outside well.

Workout

Short warmup

Deadlift

20 - 50 - 100 - 140 for 8 - not feeling great. Very cold in the garage.

195 for 8 okay, was in a hurry, felt hard

200 for 8 way better, as per usual after the last "warmup set".

205 for 8 even easier, great. Pointed my feet a bit more forward, and inhaled the air into my guy properly (I know that's not how it works, technically speaking, but it a good way to explain core activation). Bruh I heard the phrase "core activation" being used so incorrectly so many times. Don't even remind me 😁

Not sure if it'd be smart for me to run today. But I think if I walked, and briskly too, that'd help me maintain my cardio a tiny bit better.

210 for 8 great

230 for 1 nice and easy.

Took my time unloading the plates. Had some tea and a break.

Ran a kilometer. Time on the clock - 7:38. Didn't feel that great today. Once again putting too much weight on my right side. I did make a lot of walking breaks. BUT I think I discoevered something new. I realised I straight up can run much faster and it makes no difference in my breakthing fatigue (as apparent by the clock). So it ends up actually being running rather than jogging. I push my leg back more and straighten it, sending myself forward. I think on a fresh day I should be able to run like that almost all the time. And, perhaps, if I start feeling too lax I definitely could do 20/100. (Steps/strides)

 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 ...
