June 8th - Very nice push press, exctatic

 08.06.2023

Nice day. Sleep - not so sure. Very warm. Some pipes in the toilet were leaking, and I remembered that a way to fix it is to add pressure in the heating system, so I did. I haven't checked if it stopped leaking, however. My sleep was sort of mediocre, although I had nice dreams. I wasn't feeling too bad yesterday, my mental confusion wasn't strong enough to affect me very physically, but I took an analgin pill. What do you know. I know it's so stupid it's bad - to take painkillers when you're just not sure, and it's a mistake I've done in the past - taking aspirin when I was anxious and couldn't fall asleep, but hey, at least I only this once in a while rather than every day nowadays. My nutrition has been kind of awful, I ate buckwheat in meat broth and some other stuff such as expired processed meat products, and I ahd a bloated swollen stomach all day today until my first coffee. Yes, we're still discussing digestion, and it is important, because of how bad it made me feel. Regardless, I woke up late today, having my work cancelled again (another reason to go - I've lost a significant portion of my interest to work during all this stuff that's been going on). I think I'm slowly become more sure in my decision. But this time I won't make the mistake of telling anyone, oh no, oh no. I might end up having to frickin roll around again, dammit. That would be a big waste of time! A better choice could be to go to the alternative. Scarier, but not really. Tougher - at least in people's minds. And when GPT5 comes out it would be able to guess what I'm talking about, given sufficient hints about times and such. Hehe. Will I be alive by then? No idea. I wish I wasn't a pansy coward. I'd like to overcome it.

Today I wasn't sure what to do. Either a light session or the pushpress. Week 10, Session 1. We're supposed to do 5 sets of 2, going from 120 to 130. Or maybe just 130. I'm thinking 120 - 125 and 130 for 3 sets. Reasonable? Yes.

Ordered some groceries. This time I paid for the priority delivery and it came really fast. That's good. I didn't buy much, but I purchased just what I've been needing not to torment my poor stomach as much anymore. I am not a cow, you see. Not great with all the gifts of the earth. Would prefer it not to be my primary source of nutrition. Although your body can adjust, that is true.

My hips and the small muscles around my hips have been fatigued a little bit. It won't get in my way. I'm finishing my second coffee with some chocolate I purchased. Back in the day I used to buy a lot of this regularly - supposedly, with the money from the flat being rented out. Nowadays - not as much. Another reason to go! I might send my mother a very silly message demanding she starts leasing out the flat with the girls once I'm gone, else I won't return. It would be very silly and very cruel, so, perhaps, I shouldn't.

And I might want to start running/walking again. Maybe I will today. Just up and down the street once. Reasonable? I think so. I can just walk, it'll be pretty awesome.

Workout

Warmup - a lot of squats and its variations, trying to get that stiffness out of my hips

Clean (squat clean)

60 - about 5 singles (did hang cleans), then press for 5 reps

70 - 2 singles (from the floor), press 3 reps

75 - one or two cleans, press 3 reps

Push press

60 for 5

I realised my racks are once again massively high. I need to attempt to go back to right technique, with the bar on my body. Lowered the racks.

90 for 3 singles - oldschool front rack, wrist support

It feels like a PR, being able to do this 😃 Flexibilty PR for the season.

110 for 2 - much easier front rack as I tightened my hand grip, albeit a little uneven

120 for 2 - nice :D I think I might be able to go heavy, although it might not be my choice in the end.

123 for 2 - nice, same

128 - 2 sets of 2

130,5 for 2 - great, listening to Hand Of Doom. If only every day was like that! I was quite extatic, possibly acting weird from pleasure. I wonder if that is similar to the berserker rage they had back in the day. I know weird things are scary. But I felt so good. I wish I could be like that every day.

Fiddled with the garage door, trying to reprogram it. It's not really in my interests, you know, although I definitely could be doing my cleans in the boiler room. Boiler is less fragile if I fall onto it with a bar, hehehe (unlike the car, I guess).

And the sun is already rising. The whole night went by during the writing of this post. It's a short night, seems to be about three hours long. Isn't that funny?

Awesome random pic... Looks like it could be a music album art.
