Nice day. Slept better and rather calm. I wonder if it's cause I took a second melatonin pill at some point. You get pretty desensitized to them. Food - okay, above average, although appetite seems low. Maybe it's cause I didn't work out right.

Yesterday should feel like a fail, but it didn't. Maybe cause DL is not currently in priority, or because of how 190 overhand felt. Possibly easier than before. And I have more energy left for today. I pray I don't relapse into darkness.

The AI is still trending. After watching a few videos I myself realised it has the potential to be dangerous - simply because of how powerful and versatile of a tool it can be. Because text isn't just text, but it can also be input for many more commands. GPT4 can generate a code to draw in Blender. GPT3.5 generated me a code for a wacky sorting algorithm chart - a picture.

Today is Thursday, an overhead and squat day, as I've changed it. Maybe those changes are one of the reasons for all... that. I'm adjusting. Maybe it's the fact that I'm back vidya-gaming for many hours.

All I know it is that today my brain feels much... wetter. And smoother. Strange. Better. Natural response? Life works in waves. All nature does, as it would be apparent. Up and down along the time. Back and fro.

Limiting coffee. I had one cup of nice instant coffee and one moka, which I also poured in a large cup. THe effect is smaller, smoother. I really have to buy pure arabica next time. Maybe I could do it before I run out of it. I used to complain about coffee not working. Well, it's doing its job today, but it's not driving me nuts. I feel like the inspiration I've had recently has been mulched by all this tension I've been experiencing. I may want to learn to avoid it if I want to be creative. When I think about it, it's always been not so good for me and my creativity. I was actually insanely creative in 2021 - my videos. And I had very little of that "tension". And when I ran out of creativity and "burned out" my brain once again waved in this "wetter, smoother" mode. A "distacted" mode, in a way, if you know what I mean (I hope you don't).

In PP today, I'd like to go form 90 to 110, in 5 sets of 5. Should be nice.

Workout

Warmup - swift. Joints a bit frail

Overhead press and PP with EZ bar

Push press

20

50 and 70 for 3

90 for 5 nice and smooth

100 for 5 a little creaky, hurried too much

105 for 5 less creaky, but break was too short, feels harder than it should. I may want to really change things up. Well, I am changing my methods, but not my goals. Recapture that summer 2020 magic when I did things that were fun and made me very buff. I'm way less buff now. Still big, thankfully.

107 for 5 with music, recording a video - helped produce better effort. We're still at the start of the PP program.

A break - somewhat long

Squat

50 for 8

100 - 4 sets of 5 - energy accumulation, short breaks, making sure not to disturb the technique.

And now I shall relax how I've not relaxed in a long time. My brain is finally smooth, hehe.

RPotD - quite 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 ...
