Thursday - Surprisingly not low on energy after DL, doing OHP and light squat

 15.08.2024

Nice day. Slept long again, couldn't help myself. Last night was a lot of fun for me. No food today, started with coffee and a banana.

Workout

Warmup - some, upper body

Overhead press

27 kg ez bar

20 for 10

50 for 8

70 for 8

83 for 8

85,5 for 8

88 for 8 lovely. Done making myself a meal here, but left it in the kitchen, so it doesn't distract me before the final working set.

90,5 for 8 great! That was a real grind, a toughie, if you will. The last rep at least. They all weren't too strict, I admit. But I locked out my elbows properly after a long grind on that last rep. Close, but not too close to being as strong as I was in March. Not that close to being my strongest self ever, heh.

Squat

50 for 10 technique felt nice here

Accidentally ate most of the food I prepared. Squat is supposed to be light today, so it's not that big of a deal.

100 for 10 feels nice, very easy and stable. So much easier than it used to be somehow. Also not wearing a belt, cause I don't wear a belt for presses from the rack and this is a light squat.

100 for 10 more, felt even better. Decided I wanna do one more set.

100 for 10 alright, nice, even better, but it's gotta come to an end. Today I really wanna play FNV with the second character I ended up starting up. I'm really exploring a couple ideas here in my mind. Hmm. Big brain.

RPorD - I don't know how to play this, but it looks awfully similar to that one time I explored that one swingy beat I had in my head

 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 ...
