January 30-31, Tue-Wed - Light and Deadlift reset

 30.01.2024

Flys, full range / supersetted with back flys (skier flys)

2 kg dbs - 2 sets of 15

6 kg dbs - 2 sets of 15

Slow squats with hand support in the front

4 sets - only a few reps, but really slow; it kind of looked like me moving up a few degrees up, pausing, up again and so on. Don't want to overdo anything before tomorrow. But feeling kinda nice, pumped muscle and brain.

Having some old ideas - from a year and three months ago enter my brain again. But I'm a little different nowadays. But also they still feel refreshing somehow, I feel like there are more options in life than I thought.

Overhead press - a set of reps with the 27 kg ez bar

31.01.2024

Kind of a nice day. I may be mistaken, but I think I'm coming out of that little depression I've developed since early November. A few things are different. I feel like there are more options.

Nutrition has been fairly average. Sleep - hard to say, haven't been quite getting enough. But I feel okay. It's not like the last couple weeks of feeling weak and sleepy a lot of the time. Today we're keeping it all very easy and sort of deloading. The whole first microcycle is just deloads.

Week 1 Session 1 - 62,5% for 5 sets of 8. Let's just say the average max - not minimax nor supermax - is 300. So, it'll be a very easy 187,5 for 5 sets of 8.

Workout

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 110 - 163 for 8

183 for 8 lovely, kinda way too easy

183 for 8 same, strained my right side cause I seem to all over the place with my technique, also standing unevenly in relation to the barbell

183 for 8 much better, less wriggling of the torso - it doesn't happen on heavy weights, you know. Tighter belt, even foot position. I just realised I have two more sets rather than one 😁

183 for 8

183 for 8

Monologuing a lot today. I feel different. Thank God for anything.

I don't qualify under neurodivergent. I just got different habits than normal people. Different proportions and reactions in my head. Sometimes I don't bother convincing people I'm not what they assume I am. Sometimes I just don't care how they see me.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 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 ...
