February 21st - Long day, rare light DLs and pullups

 21.02.2024

On Monday I've done a few BW squats, on Tuesday I've done some wall pushups. Today I'm feeling all loosey goosey inside of my head. Very positive. Not sure about the weights today. Something is wrong with the heating.

I don't feel very strong today. Last week I resolved to actually take a break from DLs. I've not done any squat in a long time. And some changes are definitely upon me; I'm less anxious than I've even been about it, and I'm feeling very positive. I'm very thankful to God for it. I've dropped the wrong kind of luggage I had in my head and I'm picking up only the things that matter.

So I'm thinking perhaps I could just go through some high-rep stuff, different kinds. It's gonna feel awesome.

Workout

Deadlift

20 for 16

70 for 8

120 for 8

It's all coming together. I think there won't be a workout next week - cause I'll be busy. It's all making sense.

150 for 8

150 for 8 all very easy. Now I'm having doubts, as to be expected.

Shaved my face.

150 for 8 okay

Rubber lat pulls

30 reps light

30 reps hard

Pullups (underhand)

1 sets of 10 - managed to touch the ceiling with my head on a couple reps, but then I slowed down the pace a little

1 set of 20 (10+10 switching leg) with reverse rubber - first ten were super easy, much harder after a switch. The ribber was on right knee first and on left second - that doesn't mean left is stronger though. But it is higher. Strong cramp right afterwards. Wanna have potassium and stuff. Or just more water.

 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 ...
