Wednesday, September 27th - Deadlift 255 for 5 sets of 2

 27.09.2023

Nice day. Great sleep, mediocre nutrition.

Week 4, Session 4 - 85% for 4 sets of 2. Perhaps I'll just stick to 255. Reasonable? If I do them all well and powerful, then yes. That's actually way lighter than all I've been doing. I kind of hope it'll be lovely. Maybe more skinful training? To be skinless next week, hehe. The pinky callus on my left has regrown from three weeks ago, I think? It's a nice smooth bar. You need extra effort to make sure your skin doesn't take pulling damage. The hook grip seems to be the offender, mostly. Well, straps too.

Workout

No warmup 'cept for dressing up

Deadlift

20

70 - 120 - 160 for 5 reps, all overhand

Shaved - it's become even more of a curious little ritual

200,3 for 3 reps overhand - two bad reps, one better, more concentrated rep

230,3 for 3 mixed grip. Only a short break here

255,5 for 2 mixed grip, not too great

255,5 for 2 straps, a little better

255,5 for 2 better

255,5 for 2 nice, great

255,5 for 2 okay, but not as good as the 4th. The video suggest I might not have been using my legs enough. And I lowered the belt too much. All sets today were with the belt on my midsection (rather than above abs)


PRotD - a classic

 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 ...
