May 29th, Monday - Squat, higher energy

 29.05.2023

Nice day. Not too much sleep. But feels okay. Nutrition - not sure, I ate a lot, but I've noticed it's been many days since I've had my conventional pork and eggs breakfast (which has been the main meal of the day for years now).

Today we squat. I really promised myself to make it "one and a half steps lighter". So we'll take 200 as the max. I wanna have a good wednesday, man. (Today's monday).

Week 8, Session 1. 4 sets of 3 with 82,5%... Man, I wanna squat heavy. Just hypothetically... What could be the big weight? 198? Cool, cool...

I've been feeling good. Been feeling like I wanna go there again. I'm pulled. I've failed too many times, that's just bs, you know? Two times. I gotta go there, I feel like. Yeah. I've wanted to DL 250 kilos in my first year of lifting, but I only got it in 2014? Damn. Noobie gains. Then my life got really disrupted. Well, my lifting got disrupted. And very likely it'll get disrupted if I go there too... And here I am, learning to be a coder. This night I've struggled to understand a matrix transposing code.

void ChangePosition(int[,] matrix)

{

    if (matrix.GetLength(0) != matrix.GetLength(1))

    {

        Console.WriteLine("Ошибка");

        return;

    }

    for (int i = 0; i < matrix.GetLength(0); i++)

    {

        for (int j = 0; j<i; j++)

        {

            int temp = matrix[i, j];

            matrix[i, j] = matrix[j, i];

            matrix[j, i] = temp;

        }

    }

}

Well, it's still hard for me to visualise in my head. I just need to spend more time on it. But thankfully, I can explain it.

It goes in a triangle. It only goes over the rows, excluding the diagonal - when i and j are the same. And as it goes over the rows, it applies to the columns.

Well, good, I'm doing something now, I'm learning, with the help from the robot. That's good. It's good to learn.

Workout

Warmup - some

Squat

Kinda going fast today

20 for 10

70 for 15

120 for 5

150 for 3

170 for 3

180 for 3

190 for 3

200 for 3 nice effort, kind of easy. Medium, I guess. Technique wasn't perfect. I was really doubting myself before the third rep, but I managed it. Need more confidence?

It's a mini PR+1 rep btw 😂 For high bar deep squat.

190 for 3 okay. I had to do some more.

Alright! I'm not done with the garage. On the last session I brought back power cleans. Today I'm bringing back bench - very light for the moment. I have to pre-habilitate my pecs if I even wanna do a good bench.

Bench press

50 for 20 - 15 - 10

And that was actually hard for my forgotten muscle, hehe. I made sure to lock out my arms completely, and that really loaded up my tight wrists and my triceps had to struggle against those wrists. Good stretching exercise?

Pull and power clean

3-4 sets with the bar for a few reps, then the same with 40 kilos, but also adding some front squats and pushpresses. Feels very satisfying!

Also, this time I did not forget to prepare some food in advance. And also I bought a very large shaker, cause I have so much uneated forgotten protein. So I'm having some. Emptied the jar that I bought in February 2021, I think 😁
