December 20th, Wednesday - Deadlift 260 for 3, 263 for 4 sets of 2

 20.12.2023

Nice day. Slept at night. Woke up early. A little weird. Felt sleepy, but couldn't sleep. Decent breakfast - some pork, eggs and tomatoes. Feels like there isn't enouch blood pressure, the best I can describe it. It'scoming back.

Enjoyed one moka. It tasted good, didn't make me feel weird. Felt a little slow.

Kinda empty in my head, but bot completely. I'm gonna do some nice DLs today. Let's see... Week 10, Session 2 - 85% for 3, 87,5% for 4 sets of 2. I'm thinking of keeping it a bit more on the chill side and doin 260 for 3 and working up from there with those 4 sets of 2.

I'd love to play BG3 later tonight. It's been two days.

Grooved, played guitar a little. The music is calling to me. I'm doing something that feels right, inch by inch, crawling somewhere. It feels weird to start my DLs white it's so bright outside. Hmm.

Workout

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120 for 5

Head feels vulnerable to pressure. Muscle feels on the softer side, tensing up. Low water content. But let us not rush...

160 for 5 feels weak. I usually take a lot more time getting into it. Yesterday wasn't bad, but it was sort of subpar. I need to get it all in, gather up my power. I feel really underhydrated.

200 for 3 straps - doesn't feel great, lower abs cramping. Need water

230 for 3 - a little better, pressure not too high

260 for 3 - fine, nice. Wearing straps, not bothering too much to fasten them tight, so on second rep I realised they're sort of slipping, and I consider that a bit of a cheating, so I took a pause to apply some chalk. It felt good today. Blood pressure, head pressure. I can feel my thinking begin to change.

263 for 2 okay. Nose closing up, that feels wrong.

Noticed the gate was partially open. It bothered me a lot. It better be my brother who left it like that. I finally reset the gate. Now you can't open it with just your hands. It's a shame it took me so long to do that. It better be my brother...

It was him. Thank God. Don't want to be paranoid.

263 for 2 - one rep mixed grip, turned out a little too wacky. One rep straps

263 for 2 same. How was I avoiding nose closing up before?

263 for 2

 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 ...
