First ever garage session after a 4 month break

 22.07.2024

Lovely day. Ended up waking up early despite doing to bed kinda late, but not as late as I used to. Standing is as easy as it was, mostly. I'm definitely way thinner, hehe. Can sort of see my abs, can't grab my chub when standing up at least.

A lot of music, cleaning and wiping guitars. So much to rememeber.

Today just some high-rep OHPs and squats, I'm thinking. It's 8:35PM, and it's sort of early enough I think. It's not gonna be a long workout. Speaking of, let me charge my player... Also, I oughta buy a different player, perhaps. Well, not oughta, not at all, but I kind of want it. I think I'm not gonna do it. I think I can do a good enough job at saving my money. It'll be hard... I already ordered new Panasonic earbuds. Apparently the ones I've had lasted TWO YEARS! Til they partially disconnected this June, like all headphones do. And the Sony ones are already shiotting themselves...

Workout

Warmup - somewhat thorough

Overhead press

20 for 15

50 for 10 darn, am I weak xD TBF it is only the first one...

Had to change a couple lights in the garage. Cool light there now... Gotta try and take care of the garage door again! Although my family tells me it's working alright, it's just that they lost the key...

60 for 10 nicer

70 for 8 okay, easy but I'm not as stable as I used to be. Gotta keep it light.

My BW is almost exactly around 100 kgs. So, didn't lose that much? About 7 kgs? I know I look good, hehe. I'm gonna look the best for a short while as I begin my re-bulking/maingaining.

73 for 8

78 for 3 sets of 8 - nice, struggling with the lumbar cramp. It wasn't that easy, RPE around 7/10 in the end.

Squat

3 sets of 10

78 for 10 - felt good

Strong back cramp. Nice enough session for the absolute first! Lovely. Gonna do so much more on Wednesday. Not gonna lie, I was way too distracted earlier before the workout. But what matters is that we reminded our body of the barbell. It's gonna be going!

 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 ...
