October 30th - OHP on Wednesday???

 30.10.2024

OHP session 17 - 4 sets of 6 with 75%... Kinda light. Just 90 kgs... Should be easy.

...there is no reason to conclude there's no objective truth even if it is quite elusive... completely elusive, in fact. The only thing we can get our hands on is *reality*... OUR reality. Not anyone else's! Maintain status quo, keep things in order, keep things structured... Layers, layers changing one another, peeling like onion, except this onion is a mammal and it screams as the skin burns away, it tries so hard to grow back the normal skin, but it's peeled and peeled and burned off and scabbed off and it grows, it grows back, trying so hard...

Watching a nice freaked up movie, reminds me of my early childhood a little bit... "Parents", 1989. I must have been such a cute boy when I was young... I was really hot when I was 16 and had abs. Women, old women, let me tell you, they are quite the predators, hehe. I was a little snack, and some of my limbs were much longer because how thin I was, hehe... I keep thinking about that summer.

It's almost Halloween, you see.

After my working sets I'm technically supposed to do a 100 for a clean single. Could do. I got a stuffy nose today, I feel kinda low on oxygen in a funny way. Really nostalgic feelings throughout the day, like I got teleported back in time.

Workout

Warmup - fairly thorough, a lot of stuff of all sorts. Curious how much tighter my right lat is!

Overhead press

20 and 50 - wrists better than last time, but still hurt

50 for 5

70 for 5

90 for 6 all nice. Wrists hurt, but only a little. Wrapped.

90 for 6 very good, no pain, smooth. Doing the forearm helicopter press between sets to warmup my forearm - a variation that I'm coming up with right now, sort of like a balance movement - you gotta jerk the weight real hard by rotating it while pressing, and to do that you really need to grip it tight as well...

90 for 6 amazing, vibing, holding my breath all proper

90 for 6 great

100 for 1 lovely, after a very short break

Pushpress

53 for 4 - push jerk, lower body a little stiff but wrists and elbows are decent

Some horseman stance against the wall

You see, I developed a strange habit of pushing with my hips in PP, using my hip joints... I may wanna try and revert that, use my knees and my quads more.

53 for 4 - not bad, I took a slightly wider grip, that was a lot of strain on my palm meat

Some more horseman stance and lower body warmups

53 for 4 okay

BTN press

53 - 2 sets of 10 - on the second set I finally took off wrist wraps... It was okay for this exercise.

20 for 15 as a finisher

Tricep extensions with a spring expander from behind the head, this time using only three springs

3 sets of 50 - a lot of burn... I even had to force myself to do the third one!

Lovely, honestly a super nice day today. Oxytocin too, not just a nice workout. Strange nostalgic feelings.
