Thirteenth of November, Twentytwentythree, 1stday of teh week

 13.11.2023

Nice day. Woke up, doing some new stuff. Maybe I'll get a chance to do an interesting job. Something I feel like I can do well. Not going "there", hehe, that's not what I'm talking about. Had a caffeine pill, buzzed for a couple hours. After my indulging yesterday I convinced myself I wasn't hungry. Had a couple mokas and some snacks. Today's supposed to be kinda heavy. Gave an excited lesson too.

So, I'm not exactly sure what I need to do today. I've done my squats on Saturday, like I think I was supposed to. Last OHP was on Thursday. I think we could try to do a split extra-volume oldschool overhead workout. Both OHP and PP.

Week 9, Session 2 - 4 sets of 3 with 82,5%. Hmm. I'm thinking of 3 of 3 with OHP and slightly more weight, a few triples with PP. Makes sense? So, 110-113 for OHP and around 128 for PP? That's gotta make sense, right?

My pecs have been so stiff. Not the muscle, but the outline of connective tissue on top of them.

Workout

This time, not too much upstairs warmup - a tiny bit

Clean and press

60 for a few reps

Overhead press from rack

60 for 5

80 for 5

100 for 3 a little awkward, but strict and decent. Got a load of stick downstairs, it's hurting my throat.

110 for 3 decent, a little uneven, good power generation, trying not to lean back with my knees.

110 for 3 nice, better, a lot of extra power. Can't say how strict I was, I admit.

110 for 3 very good, decently strict, but I had to have a pause after two reps - I set the weight wrong.

Push press

60 for 3

100 for 3 - I decided to just stick with this weight and train my push again, because it's lacking in cohesion.

I love to see a nice training post with a long list of numbers on it. And decent numbers too. Feels good.

100 for 3 felt a little awkward as I tried to maintain a stiffer 180 degrees position. Held it. Next time I'm gonna be more flexible in the lockout, so long as I keep my focus on it.

60 for 3 same - some more holding

Some presses with the bar.

Finished shortly past midnight. Decent enough time for me. I think I'll do some bench, and maybe venture slightly out of my comfort zone in various other ways tomorrow (Tuesday). (I know, it's technically today, heh 🤓)

Nice workout, really. So short it flashed by like a single frame. I'm glad i recorded somerthing and listened to groovey deth metal today.

 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 ...
