April 22, Saturday - Light workout

 22.04.2023

Nice day. Sleep - at least 7/10, food - I guess it's fair to say it's 8 out of 10. Really decent!

Last night I learned. Was going over the seminars I've missed and to my massive surprise realised I missed out on one more than I thought. Things just go by my head sometimes. That's okay. Cause I managed to do everything much faster than before. And I couldn't stop learning and looking up various things. Such as geometry which I've studied many years ago and how to use github when you need to fix your mistakes. Git interface isn't the most intuitive sometimes, but it works on second attempt. All of the GPT, the many of them, are helping a lot too, especially when it comes to repeating things. I ask it to go over something step by step and it does so. So far without too many problems, cause I'm learning rather simple things. Me, a programmer? Believable, I guess. Since I was young I imagined myself as a philosopher and a teacher to the people. That kind of image isn't the same as a programmer. Not too far, I guess. A lifter, sort of a sportsman (haven't competed in anything in quite a while), a musician, a gamer, an internet memer even, and a teacher, of course. I have my own taste in things. I'm often crude and dumb (in an older meaning of this word), but I'd like to imagine that I'm alive. There's still fire burning inside of me, and it is a strong enough. Still a "force of nature", if you will. Not much, of course, not much to do out there at the moment. Not nothing either. Not for someone like me. I wish I was different - better, that is. More stable. Sad truths following me for many years now. Faith in self diminshed, but never gone. Learned, acquired bits of wisdom, or rather participated in it. Meteched in wisdom.

Woke up late. Having one moka. Not very strong, but lovely taste. Good. Not sure if I can squat today, admittedly. That tweak I had on thursday - it's gotten my exact old injury worked up, so I can't squat deep on my right leg. Or at least I wasn't, before I went to sleep. Now I can, without any horrible inflamed feeling, but I might want to be wary. Not sure, simply not sure. Definitely wanna avoid any heavy shoulder work.

And it's already past midnight. Well, it's okay. I haven't had a light workout in ages, and today is the most appropriate day for it.

Workout

For warmup, I somehow felt like doing neck extensions and calf raises, before moving to various squat movement (different ranges and angles).

Squat, BW

5 sets of 10, feeling okay, no pain, just tightness in the old spots. Gets worse if I'm not careful though.

Curls

6+6 kg dumbbells - 3 sets of 15 - just keeping it alive. Feels good enough

12+12 - 3 sets of 15 - some more. Feels good, feeling some of that forgotten pump.

That's about it. Looking forward to tomorrow and Monday.

I gotta stop being as "ditracted". Should help with music, I believe.

 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 ...
