Oct 20th, Friday - Just a light workout

 20.10.2023

Nice day. Slept well, gave lessons, didn't eat (wasn't hungry), decided to take a walk for groceries. I took it seriously and listened to my music, also used euqalizer to help with the outdoors sound, so it's not that overbearing and loud and I can still hear it. Enjoyed the walk, the sun set during it. The nearby store was closed, walked a little further away. really enjoyed my time there. Also, I popped the caffeine pill before lessons, so no wonder. So many faces, it's absolutely ovewhelming. Very few people wanna look me in the eyes when I look at them. I hope we humans don't have the exact culture as gorillas, cause then it would be awkward. Hey, at least i wasn't showing teeth, I was just smiling contendedly. The blue coffee in that store costed two times the price of it in the online store. Outrageous! So, it's not so obvious after all.

Had one coffee. I wonder if I have Tourette's syndrome. I've succumbed to the millenial trend of searching for mental etc. baloney. Don't care. Still wonder. I do have something.

No sure what to lift today. Not sure about my energy levels. I've been lifting for three days in a row... I think I will choose to leave cleans and presses for tomorrow after all. today's a light session, lats and squats. Elbow has been getting better, thank God.

Doing all the music. It's a shame, I've not played bass in so long. My 40 watt sounds bad all of a sudden. I know it's in my head, things just ain't right, the stimulation overdone and not underdone. Hmm.

Workout

Lat rubber pulls

Light rubber - 1 set of 20 both hands, 1 sets of 20 one hand, 1 set of 15 double folded

Floor supported ring pullups, supine position

2 sets of 15

Squats

Some warmup and moderate stretching

4 sets of 10 - gone a little overboard with going deep again, had to hold myself back. It's unnecessary.

Calf raises - 2 sets of 30. Curious idea - combining calf raises with sort of a stiff leg deadlift, makes the movement more powerful, looks funny too.

Done some real nice walkign today, let's not forget. I feel like I'm on the brink of wearing out my expensive hiking boots I bought just a year ago. Or "wearing in", if we're being optimistic - they didn't chafe today, and I could feel the ground under my feet, that felt good. Could feel my tight muscles moving on the way back. I reckon it'd benefit me to walk just a little more often, even if very little. So, I put the "cardo" tag in this post, hehe. ANd I gotta dmit, I really abuse the "psychology" tag. More like like "raw material for your psychology research". Yeah, I'm that important. (kidding)
