OHP coming back strong

 19.09.2024

OHP session 7. Gotta move on! 4 sets of 4 with 80%. So we'll go with 95-98. Hmm. I'd love to see how it turns out. Sleep have been decent, nutrition above average.

Workout

Warmup - pretty thorough, upper and lower body

Overhead press

Oiled up the second pair of hooks (barbell supports), washed my hands, applied some chalk

20 for 10

50 for 8 okay, it kinda doesn't feel too bad, I guess

Came back to see that I managed to log into a public lobby with another player who had a 8000 rank... (modded account, i.e. cheater or bought this account from a cheater) And all this time (over 20 minutes) I didn't get kicked? While I kept getting kicked yesterday for "untrusted host"? A bit of gaming news there for you, in preparation for GTA6 Rockstar is testing an anti-cheat

Did I mention I had a dream in which my feet got swapped surgically? And I was like "Darn it, it's gonna take so many of my body's resources to go through having my feet swapped again!" And then I had weird ideas about how it's gonna give me a knee valgus but also make me run faster, since I got my big toes on the outside? Heheh.

so, yesterday I was trying to sell off my CEO crates in GTA Online. I haven't been playing GTA Online, but you can't miss the double payout for crates. And I just could not find a full public lobby to get a full bonus! Cause you give other people gameplay when you try to do your mission and they can try to stop you. They basically get *nothing* for griefing you except a rush of evil serotonin, hehe. Funny game. Last year it was so inspiring for me... Just the art of it, the faithful small-scale recreation of a real life LA.

70 for 8 lovely

90 for 4 almost no break - not bad, but I haven't quite activated. The usual issue. And it's not a working set just yet, just a heavy last warmup set

95,3 for 2 sets of 4 grande, mui grande, Manowar kill!

98 for 2 sets of 4 - fucking great! Remember how I struggled with it last time? Hallelujah!

40 for 40 - partial press, from face to just past sticking point (so that my tricep works), narrowed grip by roughly an inch - kinda nice, I had an idea for loading my tricep a tiny bit more with it, you know, mostly just for my own amusement that is so crucially needed sometimes, but it still ended up as more of a shoulder move, heh

Pushups

2 sets - wall pushups

2 sets - knee pushups in different variations. You can do knee pushups with your knees as a pivot point, or you can do them kneeling, standing both on your knees and feet (and shins if you're flexible) Left pec still hurts, so I guess we're back to our hip ways of not doing bench press. That means I should begin to finally reintroduce the epic Push Press! Soon...

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...

 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 ...
