February 28th - Back to normal, reachieve discipline

 28.02.2024

Okay, I'll skip to Week 3, Session 1. Makes sense? It should. 67,5% for 5 sets of 8. Might be pretty hard, but also kinda easy. Good energy.

I think I might have discovered a melatonin usage little hack, if you will. If you find yourself waking up shortly after midnight you can sort of reset yourself by having it in the morning and sleeping for a few hours, if you have time that is. But it's only a hypothesis. That's what I've done today.

New coffee day. The one I've had before. A trusted brand. Two times cheaper than in the grocery store.

I had one moka, one conventional brew, having a second moka now. Enjoying music. Yesterday I had a nice moment listening to music at night. Vessel - Introspective. The first song is so me right now.

The coffee price went up 70% in the online store. What sense does it make?

67.5 times 3 would be approximately 210. Can't be bothered calculating the specifics, hehe.

Workout

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120 for 8

160 for 8

203 for 8 - nice, pretty casual. Forcing myself to drop the bar now (it's still fairly controlled)

203 for 8 okay, ended up lowering it all smoothly after all. I could be doing bent over rows with this weight.

203 for 8 nice, very easy

I gotta tell you something though, caffeine sure does make me irritable and cranky, not even purely physically but mentally. Then again, it's probably not caffeine but my actual deadlift. I swear, I will come out a different man from this period in my life.

203 for 8 okay. Somehow starting to get a little messy, but still easy.

203 for 8 lovely. Pretty smooth. The air is starting to feel cold. Now to soften my breathing and to head out for my cardio/outdoors conditioning. Just a droplet...

***

Nice cool walk. My body shall adjust, inside and out. Listening to Conan, best walking music. Took my large monitor headphones. Lovely. Might want to increase tempo and distance at some point. Jogging or running? Possible, but I don't see it as necessity.

 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 ...
