Saturday - Squat

 24.08.2024

Well, I gotta resign and admit I won't be able to follow through with my idea of not training past midnight, but I think we'll be able to finish it before 1 AM. Not a big deal. Yesterday was a taxing day, curiously enough. Slept well, ate poorly, not a big deal. Couple small conventional coffees. I've been overmodding my FNV so it started crashing again, lol. But still not very frequently.

Workout

Warmup - some, lower body

Squat

10 bw

20 for 20

50 for 10

100 for 8 quick warmup

120 for 8 okay, kinda bouncing in the bottom, it's proper deep

140 for 8 lovely, easy enough, same technique. Not sure how I feel about bouncing nowadays, since I wanted to emulate strongman type of squat more, but it's far from hyperstrict gigapause squat I've been doing last year.

150 for 8 lovely, super easy for legs but hard for torso. I've redicsovered the special toothpicks - I used about 15 of them during my tour, and trust me, they were very helpful - and now I'm accidentally turning my teeth and gum with it. They're better than floss, but maybe not in every way. My skull seems to be turned a little sideways in my skin, hehe.

153 for 8 wraps loose underknee - suprpsingly wayy too easy, although I did definitely rest for quite a while

153 for 8 lovely, about as easy as the previous one.

That's it. Some raving, some headbanging, some plate pinching - got a pair of 25 off the floor with the right hand, then some holds with the left, some ohp with the bar and I went back upstairs. Saturday is a great day for working out. And I am *almost* on time. Should have been just one hour earlier.

Wanna do some more stuff, not sure if it's a right idea, but I'm fascinated with how I was so good at pushups in July.

Pushups

20 and 20 - now that starts to feel excessive, as I feel my muscles emptying. No food! Gotta do something.

RPotD - fairly typical, but still nice

 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 ...
