Thursday, May 11th - Squat around 82,5%

 11.05.2023

Nice day. Sleep - 7/10, food - 65/100 or more. Accidentally, our sessions collided again, and today I'm supposed to do the same as I did yesterday, but in squat. It's already pretty late.

So, we'll keep it simpler. Squat is important, but it's not a priority. Week 6, Session 1. 82,5 for 4 sets of 3. So, we can take 165 as a minimum, and 190 as a maximum. Reasonable? I think so. 160 - 170 - 180 - 190. Should be lovely. Finishing my second moka. Well, at least I'm having less than I did yesterday, and in a much shorter period of time. And I definitely feel much calmer.

Almost 11 PM. Nothing to worry about.

Workout

Some small warmup - calf raises, bw squats

Squat

20

70 and 120 for 5

160 for 3

170 for 3

180 for 3 all done with rather quick breaks

190 for 3 - I did it like 190 for 2 then one more a break, cause I felt unstable. I got pretty high racks, so I banged the bar on it while unracking, and I decided to reset it.

I didn't plan to make it into youtube shorts, but I was just sitting there, pondering on the nature of humility in life. People like to kick me around like a dirty dog, but, you know, people still like dogs, even really dirty and ugly ones - if they're friendly. It's best for me to stay humble in life and people will treat me nicer, I believe. I used to be - or at least I believed I was - much more humble than I am now, until the anuse was too much and I became a little less tolerating of that kind of BS. Now, it's important to find a balance, but keep your teeth sharp.

Wow, that's one tangent. Anyway, as I was sitting there, I made a youtube short video and couldn't change it to be accessible through only a link on my mobile, so it immediately got a lot of views. Nice, feels appreciated. Of course, music is what's responsible for it.

Anyway, I think it's a small PR cause I've never done a high bar squat with that weight. Win!

 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 ...
