Sunday, Third of December - Squat, Week 1 Session 2

 03.12.2023

Nice day. Slept a lot. Nice dreams. Normally, it'd be a relatively busy day, but all my work got moved to yesterday. Woke up and indulged myself in not eating. I have to eat, but I have no appetite. And the coffee hits pleasantly at that time. I was feeling all smudgy and tired yesterday. My brain and blood vessels weren't ready for all that pressure - somehow, I got untrained on two days of rest (Thu-Fri). But today I wanna squat. I don't think it contradicts my resolution I've had - I should be permitted to have coffee on garage days (heavy days).

Finished the old Fresco coffee. Having the oldschool Lavazza Qualita Oro Perfect Symphony. Funny name, decent coffee. Seems better than the Fresco I had, and that one seemed better than the Julius Meinl I had before that. May wanna buy the blue package colombian whatever it was called, see if it feels better than this one. I think it might be the color, hehe.

Week 1, Session 2. Squat, 75% for 5 sets of 5. Hmm. 180 could be fair and doable.

Feeling a little off, a little too relaxed, but also feeling right, solid enough. I feel like there is enough power inside me.

Workout

Warmup - lower body moves, very gentle shoulder warmup

Squat

20 - 50 - 100 - 140 for 5

160 for 5 - let's consider it the first workign set today. I got a bit of a shin splint in my right shin, had it for a few days. I used to have them in both shins, specifically from squatting. Let's attempt to get in my left, eh? Hehe.

170 for 5 - on the first rep I accidentally did a diagonal squat, i.e. moved too much weight onto my toes. It felt like the bar was past my toes. I had to rerack it and then make sure I have a stable position in the hole on the remaining sets.

180 for 5 - pretty difficult, but decent

180 for 5 - lovely, very easy, I seem to be warmed up. All the gasses keep irritating my nose and throat though. One more set for now.

180 for 5 okay, good enough

 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 ...
