June 1st and 3rd

 01.06.2024

Nice day. Enjoying expensive coffee - freeze dried Bushido red. It's so much better than some other stuff here. I shouldn't buy it too often though, hehe.

Workout

Warmup - pretty thorough, lower body included

Pullups, underhand (chinups)

19+1 somewhat okay technique, legs raised

14+6 semi decent at first, messy in the end

9+11 same, but even messier, doing pauses on the floor on too many reps

The idea was to do 3 sets of 20, sort if not bad

15 kg bar curls - 15 reps, super strict, bursting

Bicep pullups - I think I did around 8 reps

Pretty sure I did some lower body stuff too. Also, I think I've some thrusters on a recent workout (I think I have also done dips that day?) but forgot to write about it.

Nice day. Enjoying coffee again. Large metal cup. It rings pleasantly. Re-reading some older posts. Still the same man, minor differences. Hmm. Wanna go places, see stuff, stimulate my imagination. Funny enough I'm sort of doing this now. More or less. Live with a song in your heart. If you do - you'll see how much better it is.

Been somewhat fatigued yesterday and today. June 1st workout was a real skinburster. (suddenly, bg3 reference hehe)

Not sure what I'm gonna do today for a workout. Thinking of focusing on dips and expanding volume. Like, put on a vest and do 5 sets of 12. Which would be the same volume as 3*20 which I've done at some point in May.

Forgot to mention music I've enjoying. Got really hung on Black Age Blues (album) by Goatsnake. Really amazing. And a little gem, recently uncovered - Borer - Bag Seeker. Just my kind of stuff! Man, I really got to get to making music when I get back. Or if, lol. Let's hope it's the former.

Been readin Sherlock Holmes. Quite enriching. It helps to imagine the characters speaking in British accents, faint or otherwise, then all the expressions and vocalisms make sense.

How come having coffee at home was such an unnerving chore and it's so good and easy now, suddenly, all again? Not because of brewing, of course. Gotta be the fact that I'm missing all the normal stuff.

I've been so undisciplined back at home, for so long. Summer 2020 was all about the opposite. Taking my strength back by defocusing and reevaluating things, big and small. This summer is going to be kind of like this, I guess.

Workout

Warmup - fairly thorough, mostly upper body, a lot of various wall pushups

Incline (decline?) pushups - 2 sets of 30, already decent pec pump

Dips

2 sets of 12

3 sets of 12 with a 12 kg vest

All too easy, may want to really amp it up

Some car work and shaft-cranking

Complex / superset with the 15 kg bar - 8 dls, 8 presses, 8 goodmornings, 8 thrusters, 8 squats - 3 sets, although I messed up the exercise order on the last set.

OHP, super long range - 15 kg for 2 sets of 20

Feels awesome.

 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 ...
