Septermber 8th - Lovely pullups, some curcles

 08.09.2023

Nice day. A little weird. Slept with enjoyment, but not sure if enough. Stomach pains. Took a random painkiller before that, a ketoprophen. Might not have been a smart idea. Food was pretty random, but enough.

Woke up and worked today. Took a caffeine pill first thing. I think it worked, made me all whimsical. Had a could pieces of toast&honey, an egg and some leftover pork. Listened to music. Randomly felt sleepy, suddenly feeling cold. Sneezing. Maybe I am ill, as it is speculable, maybe I'm not; maybe my body is readjusting. Actually, I have no reason to believe that I am ill, nothing out of the ordinary is actually happening.

Not sure what I should do today, training wise. I was thinking about squatting today, but I realise tomorrow might be a good choice as well. Today is just gonna be a light workout. We'll see.

Today is a perfect day for lats and curls! I'd love to do some proper pullups. Let's start, it won't be so demanding, but I promise effort!

Workout

Warmup - rubber pulls, some lower body moves intended to warm up my back overall.

Pullups (underhand)

3 set of 15 - more or less strict - after all, there is a wall in front of me. Immediate peak of the bicep pump, if you can believe that! I have a noticeable one on my right arm, a smoother peak on the left. Second set was even stricter - I am in a great shape for pullups. The third set was nice enough too, but I am getting fatigued. Time to switch a little.

Curcles

6+6 kg dumbbells - 2 sets of 15

Supine ring curcles

3 sets of 10 - pretty hard. Changed the setup a little. I think the last time I did it the rings had a shorter rope - connected it lower on the wall. The third set was really heavy, I struggled.

Light rubber curls, one arm - 2 sets of around 20 - just to do something. Writing the book, once again increasing the degree of stuff and other stuff. You know what I mean? No, not exactly. (Chapter 32)

That's about it for now. Tomorrow's gonna be more.

A back of a card - I'm writing something that partially references something that was inspired by cards, heh. From New Vegas, you know. Half a deck bounty! Hehe.

 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 ...
