Sunday - Squats 4 sets of 10 (light)

 08.09.2024

I might have to shave before I end up plucking out my fricking mustache. Lovely day today. Sleep mediocre, but I had nice dreams and not much difficulty waking up. I saw Elyse Willems from Funhaus in my dream. Just a little tidbit, hehe. And it's been a couple months since I last revisited their nostalgic content. James Willems is a real lucky man. Anywhomst'aways, it's 11:58 PM and I'm going to go down to my garage and do some moderate mid-high rep squats. Something that's kind of easy actually. Cause I'm going to work out tomorrow as well and I think I have something really heavy, in fact very heavy this coming Wednesday.

Workout

Warmup - fairly thorough, loosening legs properly

Squat

20 - 50 - 100 for 10

130 for 10 that was quick warmup. Throat went real dry and raspy

133 for 10 after a break - lovely, super easy, feels like I'm doing curls with 40 kgs. Wraps underknee cause my knees have been a little too wiggly. And when I say knees I mean the insides of my knees (the place where meniscus used to be etc)

135 for 10 lovely, same

138 for 10 lovely, it's all okay in the end.

As per usual, it's 1:31 AM and I should simply have started all my preparations at 10:30. Then I would have been done by midnight. Isn't it a little weird how long it takes? Well, that's the whole point. That's what you're preparing for.

 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 ...
