August 31st, Saturday - Squat

 30.08.2024

I kinda wanna work out today too. Had one cup of instant coffee. Yesterday I was busy very late, i.e. late into today, so I fell asleep late. But I had a great sleep. And I look decent too, if you can judge your ability-based shape on how you look. I don't look my greatest, but close. Pecs decent. Always had a reason not to train them. Mostly injury. Upper and lower pec separating, kinda like that one wrestler guy's pecs. But now they've grown back.

Not really a workout in the end, but sort of an activity - one arm rubber pulls, spring chest expander pulls and curls. Curls both with raised elbow - 1 set and two sets on the floor, conventional. Pulls were 5 springs and curls 3 springs, allowing for some pronation.

Curls with 6 kg dumbbells, completely flush against the wall including elbows - it is, in fact, difficult when it's this strict! 4 sets.

Nice day. Head jumbled from coffee. Sleep almost good, but not enough. That's one of the things that makes me wait until midnight. Try to get some of my energy back.

Workout

Warmup - thorough, mostly lower body

Squat

20

50 for 6

100 for 6

140 for 6 very nice and easy, but knees a little fragile

160 for 6 okay, wraps underknee

170 for 6 decided to put on more weight. All nice and easy, but man, do my eyes bulge

175 for 6 nice, but ended up kinda heavy. I seriously felt like I shit myself, but thankfully, it was just a very warm fart. Also, I might have tightened the belt a little too much.

175 for 6 nice, a little better. Listening to Manowar for the first time in a while!

Overhead press

50 - 3 sets of 8 - keeping up the energy just a little

Pushups

1 sets of 15

Nice workout. You know, I keep hoping to switch to a more daytime schedule. Well, it'll be easier next week.

Also I've been playing FNV with JSawyer mod. It's got the same problem as FO4 with Survival - by lvl20 you're just too powerful for *anything*. Also, he should have lowered the level cap by 10 rather than 15, I dunno. There's a better way to rebalance things now... Well, maybe not better, but something that someone like me would enjoy more. That's the whole point of these games though - you're supposed to marvel at how powerful you've become and take on the impossible challenges like deathclaws now. It's fun this way! But you still want it to be difficult somehow.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 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...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 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 ...
