Ninth of Jan., Twentytwenty3, M-day - One arm stability press, squat, tweaking

 09.01.2023

Nice day. Sleep - decent, not long. Food - didn't feel hungry, small one.

Bought a large bag of arabica. Makes sense to buy in bulk since I'm not going anywhere (hopefully).

Had two mokas already. Tastes great. I realised double grinding works really well for moka. And I found an optimal number for this coffee - 22 grams.

Doing some normie stuff online. Writing comments, making memes. Checking reddit. I'm glad reddit isn't as cancer as many other places on the internet. It's not as cancer as [redacted] or even as Quora. See, Quora isn't as bad as [redacted] because it wasn't redacted. He he. But it's still kinda awful. And yet, I had such good time there, mostly talking about music and music stuff.

Third coffee. This time the new one, cause I wanted to taste it. A little more dense. I stuffed a bit more than 22 this time, he he. Darker taste, more intense. Than Bushido red.

I'm kind of a slowpoke. I bought 80/20 arabica/robusta. Oh well. It tastes nice. And probably has 10% more caffeine than just arabica. Hmm. "Lavazza crema and aroma".

Hmm. I can really taste the robusta in it. It has a really prominent undertone. Easy to spot it.

Much later

Workout

Pretty thorough warmup, mostly waist up, which is not just upper body. Some wall pushups.

One arm press

6 for 15

12 for 15

16 for 10 - 2 sets - bottom up kettlebell. You need some extra mental control over it, can't rely on mostly feel.

32 - 3 sets of 1 - bottom up kettlebell - so much better than last time. The left isn't doing as good, admittedly, but I'm getting better today. It's more about controlling it, not just with muscle, but with the mind.

Tweaked my knee again, just like last time. Unpleasant. I need to figure out a nice way to avoid it. I guess I'm not gonna squat downstairs.

I took too long and I can't drum now. What an upset. Alright, at least I can work out well.

16 for 10 bottom up, with 12 kg dumbbell in the other hand - 2 sets, in the first set the dumbbell was in the rack position, in the second - held low.

When you're doing exercises like this you probably want to take a rbeak before doing the left hand. So you have more CNS energy to spend.

Anyway, the tweked feeling went away. It was just an overextension of my leg.

Squat

20 and 50 for 10

70 for 8

100 for 5

120 for 5

130 for 5

Very nice. Controlled the weight. Did it all really swiftly, in around 20 minutes. Very unlike me, ha ha. Well, I just treated it all like my "deadlift warmup". That made it super easy. The air, the air was cold. So cold. Must be really careful breathing such air. Always careful.

Managed to avoid having my mind, eh, pressurized? Not sure how to put it. It happens after you take a little too much coffee. Like jumbled, but you also feel very negative. This caffeinated negativity is not an emotion. It is a formless negative feeling. Very curious. I find it curious and you should too. You should learn yourself like I do. Understand what you feel and what makes you do the things you do. You will enjoy it, I promise. Unless you have some sort of dark unpleasant truth to uncover. Then it won't be enjoyable, but it will be good for you. It's a struggle through life to understand things. Things about yourself. Hmm.

Quite some time later again
