Somewhat nice day. Above average sleep. Decent nutrition. Nervous system - not perfect. Felt pretty tense in the morning, like a spring going off. I knew the spring was tightening. I wish there a way to unload it safely.

Had two coffees. The first one tasted great. Second one - okay. Gonna start my workout soon. Very "distracted" right now. Don't really wanna be, but I am. That's why I gotta speed up and do my DLs. I'd like to play some drums today too.

I think my "quick warmup" - you know, going from 20 to 150 - is kind of an unnecessary and possibly detrimental gimmick. I do it all too quickly and my body doesn't understand excatly what it needs to do. I think it make sht eabsolute most amount of sense to emulate your working sets with your warmup sets.

And, speaking of working sets. I'm not sure what exactly to do today. I've reached the final two microcycles on a day I fell ill. I'd be supposed to do 4 sets of 6 with 75%. Not sure. Monday suggests I'm in good shape already. 225 for 6... Honestly, that's really easy - judging by what I remember about my strength before the illness. So, I shall do 6 rep sets for warmup. I'm gonna start right now, actually. That's btter this way.

Workout

Decided to go downstairs and start it right away. Before that, however, I still did some stick DLs.

Man, I'm so grateful for the new timer. It's better.

Deadlift

20 for 6

70 for 6 feels nice so far. Solid. Now I'm taking breaks between light weights as well.

120 for 6

160 for 6 overhand

190 for 6 - 5 reps overhand, one with straps. Could have tried, but skin started crawling - literally xD

225 for 6 - alright. I amanged to do it very quickly. However, my torso stability is lower than expected, and my back is bending more than I'd like. I haven't got enough energy accumulated. I decided to reduce the weight and volume.

210 for 6 - alright. Very fast. Filmed it. And that's about enough. Energy is gonna accumulate. Then we can do more. I'm thinking about changing my programming and adding more different rep ranges on other days. It's gonna take some adjusting to get more strength endurance, if I really wanna do this. And that's about it. Time to chill and be chill tomorrow. Will play and write music. I've had a good workout and exceeded my post-illness expectations.

Some time later

 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 ...
