November 24th - Light workout, enjoyable pushups, AI meme galore (dangerously funny 21+ verboten)

 24.11.2023

Monday - Saturday. It makes a lot of sense, cause it's exactly how I planned it. So, today we're not gonna squat, but we are going to have a light workout. It's a really nice day. Woke up much earlier than normal. Tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't. Worked, ate, fell asleep again just a little. Flying dreams. Woke up, had a conventional brew, worked, just finished a moka. Want more. Ah. Well, lucky for me I miscalculated and I'm actually not finishing my moka, but only started it. I have almost two full cups (small coffee cups, admittedly), cold but still very savory.

Alright. We're not gonna fool around too much. Yesterday we stressed our shoulders and pumped our bicep. Today we'll focus a little on lats and even less on legs, just priming them up for tomorrow ever so slightly. It's a nice sort of a split, if you will, believe it or not. Lats, bicep and legs.

Workout

Warmup - rubber pulls, double folded two sets with both arms, one set with one arm

Floor-supported ring pullups - 4 sets of 10, feels nice, although lats are still a little sore (connective tissue)

Squats

3 sets of 20 feels good, I got good mobility. I have some control over my legs. To think I didn't use to have it about a year ago. I can't actually remember exactly when I got into high-bar squats for the first time. Feels like it's something from this year, so I assume spring? Well, it's just a moment of shadowed memory.

What else to do... Don't want to risk even a chance of hindering anything tomorrow. Just light stuff then.

Calf raises - 3 sets of 20 intermixed with some pushup stretches/warmups by the wall. They're interesting moves I've been coming up with - shifting weight, rotating torso, moving from to leg to leg, changing angles in pushups. Very intriguing to me.

Pushups

10 reps after a short plank hold

20 reps after a long plank hold (I counted to 120, which very roughly translates to 60 seconds, cause you definitely can't count seconds (at least not without hearing the beat first))

30 reps - same, put my hands even lower. The wait added some fatigue! Got some pump.

Today I wanna post some select AI generated memes I've been creating. Or, rather, letting them come into existence, hehe.

 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 ...
