Sunday, January 15th - Some squats

 15.01.2022

Kind of a nice day, if I was left in peace. I wasn't. I struggled and I broke for a second. Then more unexpected things happened. Tempted to write everything. But who cares? I mean, I care. I do reread my own blog. But I'd like to forget today. And I also have a few things to rectify.

Nutrition - slightly above mediocre. Sleep - poor, very poor. Did not have any deep sleep at all. Why can't you leave me in peace? I suffer and you know it.

Now it's 19:47. I met my grandma and we had some instant bushido coffee, the one I bought on december 21st, instant Bushido red, it's good. Made one moka and decided to even out the caffeine by having it all in one cup with some sugar and tried a bit of lemon. Quite experimental!

I want to workout today. Oh man, if only I slept well and was left in peace. I'd be halfway to a normal state of mind. But I guess I wasn't. Things like that have to happen sometimes. Because I am something like a human. I shall squat from 130 to 150 - 4 sets of 8. Should be nice. It is a start of the cycle, or something of the sorts. I know for a fact it will not only not take away my energy, but improve it for DLs and overhead lifts (OHP and PP).

I really enjoyed playing Fallout 4 last night. Early level Survival is fun, especially when you manage to break out of constant death loops, ha ha. At some point a few days ago I deflected a mini nuke with a baseball bat power attack. You know, from the famous Lexington bridge raider. Bethesda simply loves those quaint unexpected little spikes in difficulty. In Fort Hagen one of the turrets had a oneshot damage. Funny. The last one before Kellogg. Later I watched a Survival speedrun. Speed rules, apparently. When you run fast, instead of taking cover, the NPCs aren't quite great at aiming. And Pray n' Spray is just op too. Funny, interesting.

Finished my coffee at 20:13. I don't feel like I have a lot of time. I gotta squat soon.

Workout

Warmup - short, light, lower body

Squat

20

50 - 70 - 100 for 4 quickly

130 for 8 nice enough. Did I mention I finally put on my belt? I should really never squat without a belt. Don't mess up the technique.

140 for 8 - nice, easy enough, but energy feels really low. Heart is beating as if I just woke up. Thinking of limiting it.

140 for 8 again. Really tiring. I wish I had slept. Things would have been so different! I ran out of melatonin pills.

Oh my, it's a tunnel. How curious.

 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 ...
