November 15th, Wednesday - DL, all working sets above 260 kgs

 15.11.2023

Lovely day. Great dreams, even if intense occasionally. Decent food.

Week 8, Session 1 - 4 sets of 3 with 82,5%. Hmm. So, up to 265 again. Haven't I done it recently? Yes, all according to program. May want to go heavier overall.

I've been playing a lot of games simultaneously. All the hype about GTA6. Been playing GTAV, RDR2 and IV. Well, I've only played online versions of V and RDR2. IV is very atmospheric. So horribly optimized.

Workout

Deadlift

70 - 120 - 163 - 203

233 for 3 mixed grip

260,6 for 3 - 2 reps mixed grip, one with straps. All pretty easy. 0,6 is because I decided to take off large collars and put on two pairs of spring collars.

Deth metla makes me feel like I'm on a train, in my large headphgones 😁

260,6 for 3 very nice, slow but smooth, not tiring

263 for 3 nice, about the same

265,5 for 2+1 - the third one was a fail, I was disjumbled a bit, if you will, cause i switched from deth metla to Manowar and they got a lyrical break in their songs, almost all of them, which put my concentration off a little (that was Thunder in the Sky). But I fixed myself, but my very loose belt above stomach and switched the load by doing a narrower stance and grip and standing a few centimeters further away from the bar. That was an easy smooth rep. But still, the break felt too long, so I had to write it as 2+1 rather than 3. No biggie. I'm doing bigger volume than ever. All working sets above 260!

Been fiddling with the boiler. I think I noticed we get hot faucet water when I let the water out of the heaters. We'll see it again later. First time today there was a whole small bucket, now there was only a quarter. Poking in the dark.

Man, that caffeine-fueled post workout feeling of raw hate. It's like, it's not an emotion, it's not hate whatsoever, it's kind of a strange pleasant feeling, but you really overreact to smallest mental stimulants. Like, if I try to read any news right now, I might as well say I got tourette's syndrome. It's a weird overstimulated gentle feeling.

And also, besides Rockstar games, I've been playing Full Throttle Remastered. Old school, basic, beautiful. Something to take in. Atmosphere. Takes me back to when games like this were more prevalent.

I need to remind myself to wash my hands and apply hand lotion. Surprising, isn't it? If you wanna deadlift and you don't want your hands to turn into dry flaking wood you gotta treat it better. I didn't have such an issue when I was younger. Now I do.

Gotta listen to Manowar more. Deth metla makes me all toxic masculinity, while Manowar turns me into a cool dood.
