waiter Grain mystery

 03.04.2023

Nice. Sleep and nutrition - both at least 6 out 10, maybe more. Been enjoying AI Dungeon in combination with various other GPTs and also playing RDR2. In that game, I saved up gold to join three professions - bounty hunter, collector trader (but actually it's more like hunter). As a trader, you have to hunt animals and your associate then desassembles them, I guess, and you have to maintain both materials and supplies, and once you get enough you're supposed to go on a sell mission, and either NPC bandits or other players might attack you. This game has a really unbalanced RPG-style progression and high level players are massively strong compared to beginners. Well, I did a sell mission which was unreasonably long and got attacked by one player, who, thankfully, wasn't overpowerpowered.

Today's workout is somewhat heavy. We'll be doing pushpress, 4 sets of 3, working up from a 100 to 120. Also I think I will drum. It's time to dust it off a bit.

Workout

Warmup - pretty extensive, but only bilateral moves today

Overhead press and pushpress for warmup

20 then 60

100 - 3 presses and 2 pushpresses - pleasantly surprised, some energy defintely has been accumulated.

By the way, I have been having succesfully reducing the amount of coffee I drink. Today is either the third or fourth session in a row of me having 1 moka and a oldschool 60 bean brew (7 grams of coffee / 100 of water). This time I managed to keep it not papery by not boiling it, just pouring hot water over it and then bringing it up to right before boil on the stove.

Pushpress

110 for 3 alright, RPE 6, maybe a little wobbly but good, not pushing too much with legs

115 for 3 okay

Played drums! Felt nice.

120 for 1 okay rep and 2 without proper lockout - banging around so much, no stabilization on heavy weights yet. But I was relaxedly doing it without a belt...

120 for 3 - better. I think I might be putting a little too much accent into my right hand, so now it is above left (normally it's the opposite). I'll try a different approach on Thursday.

Uploaded a video. Finally made a "short" on mobile. Of course, I can't publish it, because it's just low effort stuff. But I'll put it here.

Warning - I put a song I like on it, cause YT makes it easy, so it might be loud. Now we can observe my technique.

What else? Not much else. Oh yes, squat!

Squat

100 - 4 sets of 4 - just keeping it light, left quad still feeling some tension.

Now off to play RDR2, perhaps? I wanted to do a tiny bit more...

Pushups

2 sets of 10 - wall

2 sets of 15 - from the knees. Right pec still awfully creaky. Oh well.

2 sets of 20 - normal, with handles, overcoming the frailty of my connective tissue slowly. After the second set my pec felt no pain!

And that's about it.

 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 ...
