December 27th, Wednesday - Physically terrible day, still did my DLs

 27.12.2023

Today I'm feeling really subpar and I'm horribly low on mental energy. I'm not sure what kind of workout I'm going to have. Hey, at least the New Year is soon and things are going to be calm for a week and a half.

Today's an easier session. Week 11, Session 1 - 77,5% for 5 sets of 3. So, maybe we can make it really easy and just go from 230 to 250.

Workout

Deadlift

20 - 50 - 70 - 120

Losing my shit. That happens. Trying to stop myself from messing stuff up. It's difficult. It's a purely physical condition.

233 for 3 feel like shit

233 for 3 a little better. Should not have had any coffee or caffeine yesterday. But I'm afraid I still will be taking one tomorrow morning. It's too important for my performance in a public space. I will need good hydration. My nervous system has been abrased again. But it's better than in the last three months. October was messy, November was deadly, December has been picking up. Lifting performance had a dip this month. Today is shit, but I'm working on it.

233 for 3 curious. I mean, it's all casual lifting today. Not flexing it all very much. And if you take it too easy then it becomes too hard. Digestion subpar. I might have been eating too much sugar again. I only wish to be left in peace. I need peace and quiet. I want to stop seeing faces and eyes and hearing voices. For a while, until I can come back.

233 for 3 a little better, although energy level is still lowered. Put on music and accidentally ended up looking at my own meme folder before the set, that helped with my mood. I become glossolaliac when my head pressure is high. Curious feeling.

 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 ...
