November 6th - Bringing back DL

 06.11.2025

Lovely day. Sleep uneven, this workout is gonna happen real late. Good okay. Been force-eating fruits and veggie, needs that NO2 or whatever. Feeling angry, but that anger is kinda under a blanket. I've been feeling just a little bit like I wanna kick shit around but it's so much easier to not do this than on other days. I'm a fcuking bomb and I don't give a shit, hehe. Piss on me the best you can, you ain't gonna wet my gunpowder. Kick at me, chop at me with shovels til an errant spark lights my fuse, hehe. I'll blow the fuck up and tear you into pieces, bleed, lie down and bleed and forget yourself. You are done and I have always been done.

Anyways, I'm finishing my second conventional brew. It's a curious physiological thing, pre-deadlift anger. And today I'm thinking of doing 4 sets of 5 with appropriate weight. Pray for me, for real! I don't wanna get more hurt.

Writing, very slowly... Gonna write more later. Gosh, I so wanna deadlift.

Workout

Warmup - just a tiny bit

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 123

163 for 5 overhand

193 for 5 straps - well, Thank God, there is no side pain so far. What I am experiencing is my ribs clashing against one another, hehe. I guess I gotta learn not to overbrace at this point, cause I think I ended up learning to overbrace, which didn't use to be the case before I left.

193 for 5 okay! Nice enough. The energy is lacking, but it's all easy enough.

Important IDEA that I came up with here - I used mixed grip and put my hands evenly, BUT I gripped my left (underhand) with calluses - i.e. deeper, while I gripped my right with the fingertips - i.e. without calluses. I think it's working right! I always preferred strapless DL, proving that I can do it better last November. Did I mention that my 'gym pr' was done without any straps? Oh yeah.

193 for 5 okay, trying to do it without inhaling a lot of air... I got a cool idea for the next set

193 for 5 nice, easiest set of them all. It'll all be much better next week. Did this one with the described mixed grip and high belt. It seems to load erectors on the left side with that type of setup. Really tired mentally.

 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 ...
