November 18th - Under the weather, light upstairs workout

 18.11.2023

Kinda of a weird day. Feeling very normal. Better than yesterday. Feeling lazy and calm in my head. Almost nothing. Low appetite. Has to be the weather.

Now it's almost midnight. I'm finishing my third coffee, a simple brew. Not very smart. But I need a decent workout today.

I thought I could alleviate this nothing-feeling by just waiting and having another coffee, but I guess no. Oh well. Next stop is Monday then. Tomorrow will be light as well. Today we'll do everything we've been wanting to do, but sort of missing out on. I'm thinking curls, pushups, squats. Make blood move again, but feel easy. The plan is simple - warmup that  utilizes lats, some curls, some shoulder warmup and pushups, and some squats with kettlebells.

I had a lot of sugary stuff with my coffee. Maybe that wasn't right. Most of the time I don't get so much of that kind of stuff in my diet.

Workout

Warmup - lat rubber pulls, light, many reps, some light curls.

Curls

6+6 kg dumbbells - 2 sets of 15

27 kg ez bar - 2 sets of 15 - decided to go to the oldschool stiff-power type of curl that doesn't strain my forearms. Arms bent, not fully extended in the bottom, always flexed, like you're trying to carry a weight.

47 kg ez bar - 2 sets of 15 - I guess I just like number 15, don't I? Hehe. Kinda hard at first, second set a little easier. Feeling my biceps, strong pump.

Pushups

Some wall stretches first

32 sets of 10 - narrow grip (first set), flexed palms, hands low, smooth slow movement. Wrist does not hurt, that makes me happy. But left pec does 😁 I'm wishing to do more than 10, but this isn't about pressing power - this is about my connective tissue and ability to adapt.

Second set felt good my pecs. Made grip average, not narrow. Third set felt even better, I felt like I could keep going non-stop, so I did some more weird stretching moves.

Squats

3 sets of 20 - first set was a little creaky, second much better, third nice too.
