July 20th, Thursday - Light workout

 20.07.2023

Nice day. Slept during the day, very lightly, waking up often. Ate quite moderately after wokring a little bit.

Now I'm having coffee. One lesson got cancelled. Not sure if I would prefer to have a light workout or an OHP workout, straight up. It feels like it's been long enough since Saturday. Let me see...

Week 11, Session 1 - 5 sets of 3 with 77,5%. So, around 115-120? Sounds quite feasible. What about my legs? They feel okay. Still a little sore, inner thighs mostly.

Having my doubts about these particular numbers and efforts. But when I think about it, 115 feels like a small number.

Played guitar through speakers a bit. Practiced what I'm working on, and I think I might have come up with a chorus, also experimented with various modes in A trying to work together. Harmonic minor, locrian and phrygian licks confusing each other, but somehow sounding nice.

Now it's 11 PM. I should start.

Workout

Warmup - some, squat variations, front rack holds. Having doubts due to how severely sore my legs are. Remembering how I really wanted to have a conventional upstairs workout. Maybe it's finally the day after all. Have a higher quality workout on Saturday.

Floor supported ring pullups

2 sets of 10 light

1 sets of 40 - done like 20+10+10 (short breaks until almost failure). I can vary my grip in many ways here.

Arms got pumped so quickly they straight up hurt from blood. Lol. Need to do more high reps from time to time.

1 set of 20 - 10+10

Squat

2 sets of 10 - BW

2 set of 20 - partials, not fully extending the legs. Curious about how if feels, wishing to reduce soreness with additional pumping.

That's about it for today.


p.s. Awesome atmospheric video. I wanna recommend it. But, tbh, I only watched the beginning atm, just fyi.

 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 ...
