Sunday and Monday, October 01-02 - Exhausted PP, nice bench

 01.10.2023

Nice day. Apparently I had the leftovers only til the end of the month, so I got very little extra in poe.com.

No matter - bought a new monthly subscription today. We'll see if I can use it all up in time or not.

Kind of a late workout today. Automatically woke up at 4 today, as I have been for the last three days (after 6 hours of sleep, just so we're clear).

Workout

Warmup - some

Cleans

20 for a few reps

50 - 5 cleans and 4 presses

70 - 5 disjointed cleans, got better in the end, one press. Dropped the bar once as it flew away from me.

Push press

70 for 8

100 for 8 funny how PP feels harder than OHP.

103 for 8 okay. That was decent, but I decided to stop. I think it's that moment when you can proceed, but it'll end up being too damaging. I'll compensate with extra energy tomorrow. After, I am still getting used to training so often.

02.10.2023

Nice day. Sleep 6/10, nutrition about the same, not sure. Had a coffee pill first, later two mokas.

Workout

A bit of warmup

Bench

20

50 for 10 then immediately

100 for 10 here a longer break

130 - 2 sets of 6

133 - 2 sets of 6

Nice, smooth enough. Although I admit I don't "feel" the exercise as much as I do my PP and OHP - cause I do them more often.

JM bench press

100 for 8 - or something like it, a narrow grip bench with the thumb grip and moving the bar almost to my clavicle, forcing the tris to work - and then pressing from around the clavicle position, not dragging it to chest

70 for 15

Strong pump. I once again got that strange feeling that my right arm is located at the centre of my body. Really funny but weird.

Tricep presses

27 kg - 2 sets of 15

Later - some calf raises and squats. You know, I enjoyed doing cleans yesterday.

Vibing mega hard to music... I wish I was feelign like that on my heavy days. Just might. Looking forward to Wednesday. If all goes right and I feed myself and sleep well enough I might do very well, I hope.

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...

 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 ...
