November 4th - Nice OHP workout

 04.11.2024

Nice day. Slept a little too long, very peaceful again. Yesterday was kinda the opposite, played a lot of music with my little brother. Today I got up real late, had a porkchop and an egg, had one conventional. It got really sour in the end, so for my second one I poured the coffee into the little old teapot I bought in July, a metallic one. Yet to see how it turns out. Kinda feeling a little too full, the training session is going to happen pretty late.

OHP session 18 - 4 sets of 3 with 82,5%. 99, rounded up to 100, maybe more... It's all so easy, I'm kinda cutting myself some slack by picking 120 as my max - but I have not really done 120 strictly, and so far all of my sessions were done very strictly. I have a lot of extra power. And I am bringing back PP again. I'd love it if I could make PP a mainstay... Also, good news - I had absolutely no issues with my side yesterday. And I've also been doing some squat variations with rings, mostly just staying in the ATTG hole. It's great for legs and hips, but it doesn't do anything for the torso in regards to barbell squat, and my torso is lacking. Although all that attention to my sides has definitely grown my abs, my obliques. They're rubbing up against my forearms when I go pee and that's a fairly novel sensation. I'm big and heavy.

Workout

Warmup - thorough

Overhead press

20 - 50 - 70 - 70

90 for 3 lovely, managing to overcome wrist pain without wraps

100,3 for 4 sets of 3 - kinda super easy, well, more or less

108 for 1 - rpe 70% or something (rate of popular egalitarianism)

Push press

53 hold - curious how it's not touching my shoulders... Well, it is past the clavicle, in my neck.

53 for 4 push jerk, hip hurts

73 for 4 - first rep push jerk, then three properly controlled PPs

73 for 4 proper pps

50 kgs hold on chest, stretching, experimenting with putting shoulders forward

BTN press 20 for 20

I'll be deadlifting on Wednesday... Pray for me!

 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 ...
