Monday, June 26th 2023 - Ill, light workout, clean and press

 26.06.2023

Nice day. I don't feel great physically, but okay mentally. If you know history you'll know the thing blew over. I was ready to experience bad things. Happy it turned out okay. The guy is still a traitor though. I'd like to believe it was all a psyop, but a good psyop is the one that doesn't look like one. So, can't say.

Sadly, showering once again made me ill, irritated my nose and throat and made me ill. Maybe I should have done a sponge bath. I don't know what's up and why that's happening. Obviously, there's a lot of fatigue and other factors, such as erratic sleep, heat and slight nervousness. But I can't but feel that all the heat and scrubbing during shower must have delivered the final blow to my immune system. It's too much of a coincidence and I've gotten ill so many times this way. Obviously, I have to admit that I do not know it and I only infer this hypothesis. Really funny - guy don't want to shower, haha. Oh well.

Today I didn't sleep too much. Somehow it's gotten to a point that I sleep a lot on my rest days and sleep almost not at all on my workout days. So, there's a large gap in time between me waking up and working out. Not perfect. I got so distracted today. Unplanned things. Also, it's hotter. Worked. Gave lessons, held a training session. If I could do that every day I'd be making a lot of money only from a few hours of work. Nice. I always prefer say - "Work as little as possible while making enough". That's the motto. I've been wanting a slightly better job and pay, but maybe the gentle enterpreneurship is a better choice overall. I have not been able to get back into learning coding for quite a while. I will soon.

Well, all this nonsense that happened on Saturday really changed my opinion on my future and I almost completely lost my desire to go there. Only left to pray it'll be over and done soon. And in a decade or two it'll happen again... In one form or another. You can quote this vague general statement, ha ha.

It's almost 9 PM. Irritated nose. Energy levels about 45/100, subjectively speaking. Nutrition has been mediocre and my digestion feels interrupted. Sleep - simply cannot be sure. I guess it is in my utmost interests to work the minimum today. I'm thinking of just doing cleans and presses - only press or pushpress the weight I'll be cleaning. Good idea? Yes. Maybe a bit of light light bench. Don't want to lose out on my flexibility.

I've been playing with GPTs and Arthropic Claudes and basically writing a normal AID-style story. I'd love to share it. I wonder what is a good way to do it... I don't feel like linking google doc is a reliable thing, also safety issues or whatever.

Maybe I'll just post it here chapter by chapter. They're about 10-20 pages. The plot is controlled by me, and about 10-15% of the text is actually written by me. But I don't call it a book - it's just a silly AID-style adventure.

***

Laid down for a while. Energy better. Made my third coffee of the day - today I grabbed the robusta. So far I can tell you that moka is the best way to brew robusta, just have to be careful. Boiled my hand once again when I tilted the pot back too much. How silly.

Robusta is lovely. Tastes like... paint. And... dust? Unique experience.

Perhaps I should just post the "book" anyhow. Yes. Be open.

Second cup tastes like... ink. Yes. Like ink from a ballpoint pen. Then... like sterilized medical gauze.

***

I can't post them all at once. Okay. Maybe a few chapters in one? Reasonable.

***

I AM FEELING IT. HALLELUJAH FOR THAT FEELING!

Thank God!

IT IS MORE THAN BEFORE.

***

Don't I just sound like a massive nutcase, eh? He he. Thank God indeed for that unique brain of mine. For that unique spirit of mine!

Workout

Warmup - sitting in squat, squat and pulls, various moves with the 7 kg bar - also front squat and sitting, gentle movements. I'm more vulnerable today and the initial warmup needs more attention. So it took a while.

Clean - squat clean from hang, every set was also a set of 5 presses

50 - 60 - 65 for 3 sets each

68 - 1 set

Feels good. My traps hurt a lot!

Pushups from a bar - 2 sets of 10 - just keeping pecs a little bit alive.

Sneezing hard. Not pleasant. But feels okay overall.

Life's a wave. I have a period of super heavy lifting, then mediocre, then light. Last week was mediocre, this week will be light - more or less, I expect.

Funny RPotD

 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 ...
