Putting squat on Saturday, and OHP on Monday/Thursday (harm emergency directory)

 25.03.2023

Ugritone Drums is a really poorly made plugin. It crashes my Cakewalk again, even when I turn off all the addons.

Maybe it's a sign for me to throw the heck away all the old stuff I had. If I only ever used the free drums then I'd be more inclined to play real drums. But I have these passable shit quality samples that sound "good enough" for you to ignore them. F this BS. I am fixing this, but I'm gonna stop using them. Clearly, they have some kind of issue with them that other plugins don't. And on top of that - their site is not opening. I swear, if I'm gonna open it with a VPN...

And they have limited downloads after I've paid my money. I mean, for real, they have an issue and issues. Seriously, straight to trash they go. I'd be pissed if I couldn't fix my projects, however... Alright, let's see what'll happen when I just uninstall them.

Thank God. It works. And they're gone from my PC.

Played guitar. First I played on my orange (with a small "o") amp, then in good ol' Cakewalk. Feeling unstructured. I got a pair of mega simple riffs in my head. Wondering if I should use them in one song or make two. I'll stay true to my plan to make a whole album. It's been too long.

Doing homework for all the programmin stuff I got distracted now chatgpt is teaching me how to draw in python. I instist I'm doing this for entertainment, hehe.

Did my homework - on my own, mind you. It's 9 PM already. Oh wow. Well, at least I got nice sleep today. Now I shall work out. Today we're doing 112 - 5 sets of 5 in the pushpress.

Workout

Warmup - a little too long, distracted

Came up with a cool trick - calf raises in full squat, then trying to use just the front of my foot as the whole foot and squatting on it. Makes your feet stronger and forces you to balance yourself. I didn't do it for long. Some stick warmup, weightlifting stretching - overhead and front rack.

Overhead press

50 for 5

70 for 5

Push press

70 for 5

90 for 5

Insane hatred drives me suicidal. Unpleasant 😂

If I was any dumber even my faith wouldn't have saved me. I'm about as dumb as I can be without disappearing. I hate.

I pray. I pray every. For a simple. Asking too much? Don't know. But yet I pray and I keep praying.

100 for 5

105 for 5 shaky, not very balanced

105 for 5 much better, powerful

I'm changing my training. I shall make Saturday another lower body day, and monday and thursday will be OHP days. So, I shall squat now. And on Monday I will pushpress again. Not sure exactly what, I expect to be a bit stronger on Monday than today actually.

Squat - high bar

50 for 6

100 for 6 unracked wrong and lost the plates from one side. Fail! Needed time to recuperate after that. Put on the collars. So silly.

150 for 6 - Nice. +1 rep PR hehe. Walked upstairs for a break. ANd now it's midnight.

170 for 6 - great, I'm actually happy now. High bar! That means it's a definite PR, cause 170 is in the "mentally heavy" category. It feels like a significantly bigger number than 160, meanwhile 160 isn't that much bigger than 150, for example, cause they're both under the "mentally heavy" bar, if you will. It's not rational, but it's not irrational, it's more of an intuitive gut feeling kind of thing, if you know what I'm talking about. How come i'm so defensive about being called irrational? I don't really care if someone does it, yet I am.

Alright. I should upload the video, I guess, for the sake of comparison. Just for the blog. Well, maybe I could see if I can finally make something good with the youtube shorts editor, hehe.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 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...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 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 ...
