29th of November, 2023, Wednesday - Average nice DL workout, 4 sets of 6 with 240, skin struggles

 29.11.2023

Nice day. Woke up early again (at the alarm). Slept strange. Fell asleep shortly after midnight yesterday, woke up, went back to sleep. The temperature's been making me feel weird. Worked, had one coffee. One moka. 20 grams, double ground, but it tasted mediocre. Make one with 16 grams, once ground - it's better. Strange. Maybe you lose the taste if you grind too much. That makes sense.

Week 9, Session 1 - 4 sets of 6 with 75%. Just 240 kgs. Well, never disrespect the seemingly light weight.

I'm getting back into it. I got mini-sick on Sunday, had a shotty Monday,

Workout

Putting on clothes and equipment for warmup

Deadlift

70 for 8

120 for 6 feels nice I tell you

160 for 6 overhand grip, and not just overhand, but more like fingertips, flexing em up and down

200 for 6 - one rep overhand, five with changed mixed grip (right underhand)

240,3 for 6 - not bad, first rep was slipping in my hands cause I applied liquid chalk and it was still wet. Wore straps on the other five. Kinda easy.

240,3 for 6 - okay, 5 reps mixed grip, then my skin hurt too much and I did one with straps.

240,3 for 6 - 4 reps mixed grip, nice and powerful, 2 with straps. By that logic I should have 3 mixed and 3 straps. I don't like this skin pain, it's going just too far.

240,3 for 6 - better, I think. I put the belt higher, one notch tighter. High pressure, closed nose, all reps with straps.

I wonder if the cream was helping. Well, I did not tear my calluses off - in fact, I just sheared them off carefully. The pain today definitely was not as intense dispite thicker calluses. So yeah, cream has to be helpful. I think tomorrow and Friday will have to be relatively light days, one way or another. That doesn't mean I'll just work out upstairs.

 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...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 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 ...
