February 10th - Forgotten lats

 10.02.2024

Nice day overall. Turmoiled thoughts again. Third time's the charm. Right now I really want to. Had a decent meal, decent sleep too. 8/10 perhaps even. Fresh brain. Been playing RDR a little bit in the last couple days. I unlocked a cool trick which is not really a trick and started closing my browser when playing. It gives the games so much more smoothness, it's unbelievable. Heh. Well, if I want to I can still open browser.

Not sure exactly about the workout today. Thinking of squats, today or tomorrow. Would it be a smart choice to do them today? I mean, I'm not that stale and fatigued almost at all. I'm not quite buzzing per se, but I feel okay.

Had a couple cups of instant coffee. I'd like to take a couple packets with me if I'm gonna be going next Thursday. Hmm. Well, I will be taking the caffeine pills and stuff. It wouldn't be the smartest choice to just gulp them down willy nilly of course. They dehydrate you a lot, unlike normal coffee. And they're pretty big too.

Week 4, Session 2 - 4 sets of 2 with 85%. So, 200-205. Curious. And it's very late. I decided to move it to tomorrow. That makes sense, cause I was lifting heavy yesterday. Today we're going for a few extra reps.

Workout

Rubber lat pulls

4 sets of 20 - light

2 sets of 20 - hard rubber

Floor-supported ring pullups

2 sets of 15 - feels hard, lats and bicep out of shape a little. Feels around 90 kgs in the top point

Pullups (underhand)

2 sets of 10 - alright, not too difficult; I even managed to touch the ceiling with my head on one of the reps - I was trying to do it on all, but alas, it seems I am actually a little out of shape.
Second set was about the same, just a bit weaker; I'm lowkey ashamed at abandoning something as important as my lats for this long - I remember there were in a quite exquisite shape in November. No biggie, it's all about consistent light sessions for me. Glad I didn't choose to squat today - that would have been a hindrance. I ended up buzzing a little later after all as I had a couple conventional brews, but it still was kinda soft.

Curls

6 kg dbs - 2 sets of 20

One arm curls

16 kg kettlebell - 2 sets of 15

Feels good. Things feel certain, let's hope they're for real.

 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 ...
