Stretching belongs

 15.03.2023

Nice day. Sleep and nutrition are above average. Dreams and thoughts - not so well. Dreaming and thinking about some things that aren't very good.

Visited a first seminar in programming yesterday. Couldn't figure out anything original on my own, but at least I learned what I'm supposed to do. Gotta do it. Gotta devote some time to watch all of these additional lectures. Should be good for my overall development.

~~~

Made my second coffee with pure robusta. Suddenly nostalgic.

Honestly, I'm not feeling too much today. I don't feel like I have a lot of extra energy. I thinkful I'm not falling asleep and my brain isn't feeling empty, but I'm not really here either. Oh well. Just gotta do things.

~~~

Quite some time later.

Better. Things are better, maybe even better than expected.

I think intuitively that it might be a good time to forget about my deadlift strength and work on the forgotten fibres - train them to store glycogen and work for longer. I'll have more CNS energy.

So, maybe I'll just stick to light weights and legit do them for many reps. But in squat I could go higher and heavier. Yeah, I'll make the DL work short and see if I can fit the squat in today.

Workout

Deadlift

20 for 12

50 for 12

100 - 2 sets of 12

100 - 2 sets of 12 - Romanian, shortened the range

Some stretching with a stick

Squat

50 kgs - 1, 3, 5, 7

Stretching is a real thing! I took a narrow grip. 1 and 3 done with high bar. Then it all got loosened and I managed to do 5 and 7 with low bar and narrow grip! Magnificent.

~~~

That's about it. I don't really need more. This is a light DL day. I used to have longer waves of light/heavy training. Now I'm around the middle of the "light" wave. Preparing myself.

"Stretching" belongs under "physical culture". But I'm actually doing it for reasons that are similar to competitive sports reasons - I'm doing it not for my overall development, but to be able to do a movement effificently, which will then contribute to my overall development. I don't think there's necessarily intrinsic value to me stretching like that. But, overall, I guess it still belong under the broader meaning.

I'm the kinda person who likes direct mono meanings. I was even thinking of coming up with a language or a glossary of mono-meaning things, if I ever write a philosophy book.

Trying to write something that would require to be smarter than I currently am. But it can also help make me smarter.

 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 ...
