August 9th, Wednesday, Deadlift - Week 1 Session 1 altered, 5 sets of 8

 09.08.2023

Nice day. Woke up an hour before the alarm, ate well. Actually, I stuffed my breakfast into me with little appetite. Yesterday I made some rice and I got so lucky - cooked it perfectly. I thought I burnt it, but now, where was no dark stuff in the bottom. I ate a lot of it, marveling at the fact that I've been excluding carbs like this from my diet for a long time. In 2020 all I ate was buckwheat. I was actually gonna have buckwheat, but rice somehow caught my attention as I realised I haven't had it in ages. ANd now I'm full of glycogen. Had one pork chop, one egg, some bacon, some of that rice, one tomato. Broke the large plate I've been using yesterday, so it took me some manouvering to add a bit of al types of sauces on top so they don't mix with each other.

Pecs been craming a little yesterday. Quite lactic now. I've only been 10 and 8 reps sets in bench, next time I oughta go up to 6 reps after all. "Go up"? That's cause when you do six reps you have to lift heavier. 4 or 5 sets of 6, possible including some warmup into working sets, depends. "Staircase" - just going up in weights gently. The kinda staircase old people can feel safe walking on. Hmm.

That large quickly stuffed meal makes me sleepy again. But I know that once I lie down I'll get overly energized a few minutes later. Let's see if I'm right.

That was about right. Now I'm having my first coffee. Really hyped for it. Let's see how today's gonna unfold.

***

Getting caffeinated. Listening to some nice tunes on the speakers. can feel the wibin in my feet in my mouse. Banged my head at some point til I got dizzy (what a silly inspired boy). You gonna bang and heave, that's fun rather than just banging. More taxing, more like dancing, hehe. If you love your music that much.

***

Well well well. It's gonna be 9 PM soon and I'm gonna start working out soon. A little strained by a few things in my mind. I can't morally afford to blame caffeine. I'm actually a little more angry than I think I am. Than I have been thinking recently. Such is the pleasure of solitude. No one to be angry at. No one to attract your attention.

***

I had to spend of my time doing stuff not really worth mentioning. Well, I dind't have to. I chose, even though I struggled. I could have spent less than 10 minutes on it, but it ended up being over an hour. Hmm. I'd like to imagine characters in the story I write inspire me. It's not written just by me or the megacomputer than helps me turn basic descriptions and narrative into stylized ones. It's written by God. I dare claim he helps me write it. How? Hard to say. Am I being blashemous, perhaps? I don't have reason to believe so or assume so. Cause it's a broad general statement in my own view of God.

True faith will not just make you think something as if it was true. It will make you act as if you knew it. That, somehow, feels like a discovery to me. How many people act as if they knew God is real? Well, it depends. People are weak regardless.

So, I'm starting soon. Had a half a cup of drip coffee. Today is a Week 1, Session 1 altered, but also very basic. 200 for 5 sets of 8

Workout

Warmup - nothing, but then some lower body moves and squat variations

20 - 70 - 120 - 160 for 5 reps or around that. A little too fast, impatient. Might have developed a quick warmup habit, but nowadays I'm on the fence about it. Might not be a great idea after all.

You gotta lock out during warmups even if it's your strong part. If you don't - you don't prime your CNS for the proper activation.

190 for 8 nice, but muscle feels soft instead of bouncy. Why? Maybe cause I haven't been doing high reps. Okay now...

200 for 8 nice, faster

200 for 8, nice, even faster. However, this is my last before midnight. Displeased. Oh well. Could have had different priorities.

Legs pumped, inner thighs pumped. How curious!

203 for 8 - nice, very powerful, but it had issues. I had one banana too much and couldn't breathe in the bottom at first. Then, I did two reps with a hook grip. My skin is just so bad. The chalk is ass and turns my skin into playdoh (soft and easy to scrape off my bones). I'm literally ordering new chalk, cause back in the day my calluses were never so bad. They were harder. Maybe it's not the chalk, but it's definitely very bad.

Ordered new chalk, a brick and a tube.

Now that I think about it, I still might have a few droplets of liquid chalk left.

205.5 for 8 okay, better than last set. I rested well. Enjoyed myself.
