September 9th, Monday - Pressing

 09.09.2024

Nice day. It's been a few days without melatonin, but sleep hasn't changed. Gonna do some lightened - but only slightly lightened - OHP and bench today. And OHP is going to be in priority, volume-wise.

OHP session 5. Sets of 8 with 67,5%. Hmm. So we're gonna just do 80 and 110 in OHP and bench. And it'll be super easy. Okay then.

Workout

Warmup - fairly thorough, but not very long

Overhead press

20 - 50

70 for 8 feeling awkward

80 for 8 kinda hard because of how light it is - the more light it is the less effort I put it, the harder it is to move the bar! Hilarious humanity.

80 for 8 a little better

80 for 8 super easy, listening to Motorhead, pumped them out like an empty bar

80 for 8 even easier, even though player died. So easy I didn't even have to inhale during the set, only exhaled on reps 6 and 8 xD

Bench press

20 - 50 - 70 - I gotta tell you, squat loads up my pecs cause I have to keep em so stretched all the time.

110 for 10 okay

Alchestbreach uploaded the second half of his 67 Graves From Now videos. Giga hype!

110 for 10 much better, shooting it up again cause I recharded the playehehe. Pecs a little too tight still

110 for 10 lovely, shooting up again like a slingshot. BUt now like a bouncy cause, cause I haven't been eating enough :( Also, important tidbit - you gotta unrack with your elbows forward!

110 for 10 lovely, easy. but not as easy as earlier sets. My brother made some kind of cheesy pasta and left some for me, what a good kid. I wish I never had to eat and could just survive on tea and coffee, lol. I'm not eating it right now, even though I barely had anything yesterday I just don't have that much appetite immediately after a workout. I was super hyped to play New Vegas last night, but I got so tired too.

 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 ...
