Very nice day. Sleep 7/10. I wish I knew how it happened. Food - at least 65/100. Good as well. Ate a lot of carbs yesterday on top of normal food. Finally got groceries and coffee in advance. Some of it was being sold with a "discount", so I opened the one I had before. So it's gonna be a while before I open the second one. It's Lavazza Qualita Oro, 100% arabica, finally. The second one is a mix of arabica from Africa and South America.

First one was tightly packed double-ground moka, second one was about 10 grams on basic brew over 130 grams of water. First one tasted great, intense, a lot like cacao. Second one a bit more papery, wafery, if you know. I didn't overboil, I think.

Anyway, got busy helping my little brother with him homework, but also trying to teach him rather than just provide the answers. That's how 1 hour 40 minutes went by way too quickly somehow. And now it's 9:30 PM. Hmm. And I have heavy stuff planned.

Workout

No warmup

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120

160 for 4

200 for 4 so bad, but it's warmup. That's how it's supposed to go, believe it or not!

240 for 4 struggling, but not too hard. Belly feels flat. Must eat more. Not enough internal pressure.

Long break. Fiddled with the old sound system that I found. We used it for radio a long time ago. It works, but there's enough wires to go around. I reckon it might be in my interests to stow it away. Can I use it as monitors? Probably. It's got a large preamp, pretty heavy box.

I've been missing out again. Yesterday was a really messy day. Not so good. Ended alright, so no wonder I got okay sleep.

240 for 4 - nice, much better, RPE 8

240 for 4 - nice as well, took long breaks however, my right hip extender was cramping hard after first two reps, so I stood up, then the middle chill section on Battle Hymn was playing, I did one rep during it, and then one more.

240 for 4 - nice, the best set, racked it and unloaded it, moved the sound system up to my chambers, hopefully we'll test it tomorrow.

Alright. That's about it. Gotta do some late night learning.

Strangely, very inspiring picture

 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 ...
