SQUAT MANOWAR

 14.09.2024

Nice day. Ended up taking melatonin, had some nice sleep. Brain full and wet. I guess I got a bit of an addiction already, if I have problems with sleeping without it. Or perhaps it's just anxiety, but it's very soft.

Today we're squatting. No idea what exactly we need to do. Sets of 5 I'm thinking.

Workout

Warmup - thorough, lower body, feeling pumped already

Squat

20 and 70 for 8

Feels difficult, brain pumped. A little too much cranial pressure.

120 for 5 - too many things feel wrong. I'll have to curb my enthusiasm and stick to a light workout for today, very light, in fact. But I can see myself doing something tomorrow.

70 for 10 okay muscle-wise, not okay for joints and connective tissue. And also my left obliques are still strained. It's possible I've gotten used to a skewed bar position and now when I try to keep it in the center that strains my left side. Need some more recovery.

Very nice day. Sleep and food okay, just okay, well, maybe above okay. I don't feel sleepy and I don't feel hungry. Worked, gave lessons today. Brain not too jumbled, heh. I feel something. Something formless.

Workout

Warmup - a lot of chest warmup so it'd stop hurting hopefully, lower body.

Squat

20 - 50 - 70 - 100 - 120 for 5 - quick warmup, surprisingly nice

150 for 5 wraps underknee, lovely, easy

160 for 5 lovely. Listening to Manowar. I am so silly for not listening to Manowar every day. I am hardwired for Manowar, I know it. Maybe that's the answer!

170 for 5 lovely, easy, controlled

180 for 5 mucho lovely-o... Ended up doign it without underknee wraps cause I got so high on MANOWAR. See video! Fuck the world!

180 for 5 lovely. It felt hard, all my limbs are shaking as I am overvibing, hehehe. I overcame superstition and finished this set! God Bless!

 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 ...
