2022, December 31st - Overhead press

 31.12.2022

Nice day. Slept well. Fiddled with the heating some more - it's still acting weird. Worked for once. Nice large breakfast. helped around. CNS a little tense, I feel like it's a little too easy for me to get angry today. I remember when I was younger I simply did not have control over this emotion. Now I do, and I am quite thankful. Not complete control of course - it takes effort to hold it back. I am proud to being able to do something that a lot of people imagine impossible.

Somehow, it's already very late. Last time I've done an easy workout. Not completely, but you know. I feel like I don't need to break my OHP program, like I'm doing with DL. In fact, I think I'll be transforming my OHP program into PP program again. How shameful what happened to my strength in october. A mere natural dip, but heck, it feels like something's been lost. November was nice though.

80% - 4 sets of 5. Sounds nice enough. Between 96 and 104, rough estimate. Or going from, let's say, 95 to 105. Should I be able to? I think so.

It would be pretty epic to meet the new year in the gym.

Workout

Light distracted warmup. Right shoulder still feels very tight. Not sure why it is like that.

Overehead press

20

50 for 7

70 for 7

90 for 5 great

95 for 5 nice, easy

97,8 for 5 - great, I even made it too strict with an unnecessary pause

100 for 5 nice again, a little too strict due to imbalance (right foot forward accidentally)

Squat - gotta make a priority this year, he he. I've improved everything beside it.

15 bw

50 for 10

100 for 10

120 for 5 dumb technique, leaned forward and had to jump out from under it. Okay. That's why I gotta get back in shape.

Did it with wide grip and low bar. When I "spread" my hip bones it doesn't hurt. Else it hurts like it did this autumn.

 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 ...
