March 5-6 - Light-medium and a conventional DL workout ez 230 for 4x5

 05.03.2024

Nice day, a little wacky. Yesterday got skipped - stuff, ended up falling asleep very early. Today feeling a little messy in my head but okay overall. Evening - they released Clause 3 on Poe, hype. Grooving to the pulse in my head. Having a high rep light-medium workout.

Workout

Warmup - upper body, L-flys and flys with 2 and 6 kg dbs

Over arm press

Warmup with 6 kg db and a 16 kg kb (kettlebell)

32 for 6 per arm - kinda squeaky

32 for 10 - a little better, warmer

32 for 3 sets of 20 - nice, obliques loaded, tissues don't worry me as much. It's a different kind of exercise than what you do with the barbell. More chaotic, more random moves. Or maybe it's cause I don't do it often, hehe. Either way it's a lovely challenge.

Squat

1 set of 20 warmup - varied techniques

1 sets of 20 - heels on plates from here on

32 kg goblet squat - 3 sets of 12 - sudden arm cramps on first set, got much better by the end. Sweating.

06.03.2024

Week 3, Session 2 - 4 sets of 5 with 77,5%. Hmm. So 230-235 I'm thinking. Nothing too heavy? It'll take some time. Thankfully, we do have it.

Deadlift

20 for 10

70 - 120 - 160

200 for 5

230 for 5 okay. Knee tissues feel a little off.

I realise now I really enjoy the cranial pressure that comes from lifting heavy barbell. It changes something in my head, besides the normal endorphins etc. Feels great.

230 for 5

230 for 5 nice, the easiest set somehow

230 for 5 groovy. On first rep I somehow imagined I was gonna clean it and it shot up 😁

Bent over rows 20 for 20

Overhead press 20 for 10 - tissues got kinda loaded yesterday!

Let's hope I'll be in a train in a exactly a week already. It'll be awesome. Something new for once!

 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 ...
