July 26-27, Wednesday - Deadlift

 26.07.2023

Nice day. Sleep decent, food okay. Week 11, Session 1 - 5 sets of 3 with 77,5%... Another intersection, ha ha. Well, it will be powerful, I should hope. From 230 to 240. Reasonable? Quite. And I'll have energy afterwards, I reckon.

Yesterday I played GTAV, going towards overplaying once again. I decided to buy the vehicle that is currently on sale (Avenger), so I saved up and purchased it. It's fun, and there's something primordially scary about it's aesthetics. It's big!

Been re-reading and re-editing the new chapters of Marco... I gotta tell you, AI is not yet as smart as singularity-ists would have you believe. But deep in the dungeon there might be the basilisk waiting for us, hehe. Joking, half joking, not being serious. It doesn't matter right now. All I know is that the media is manipulating people.

Playing it is more fun that reading and realising it's not the same as you imagine it. But it can be. And it can be more.

Played guitar a little. Just a little. Soloed. The riff does not have a chord progression in it, but it can. Hmm.

I wish to make something, but it's not a strong enough wish yet. Where will we land?

You know, I just realised you can play bass drum with your hands and not necessarily your feet. It's actually quite a mind blowing realisation... But I am thinking as a music producer on top of that.

Haven't played drums in a while. Might wanna do it soon.

Workout

Warmup - very little

Deadlift

20

70 - 120 - 160 for 5, overhand

200 for 5 - 3 reps overhand, 2 hook (3rd rep was not so good, admittedly)

230 for 3 hook grip - feels nice, being able to do this

230 for 3 same, but my skin started to wear out

240 for 3 mixed grip. I tried different grips. First left underhand (normal), then the opposite, then I impulsed hook grip bit if was definitely out, and then one normal mixed grip. Set was nice and casual.

240 for 3 not great but okay. Technique got a bit loose. Straps

240 for 3 okay, decent.

Unloaded the plates via pinching. I sometimes feel lazy to do it. But I always do it, except that one time I forgot cause I fell ill. In February? Right, then. Feel very recent.

I almost didn't bother recording, but I remembered my regret on Saturday and did do it. Now I have memory and something to reflect and focus on when I think of DLs.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 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...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 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 ...
