November 28th - Decent DL

 28.11.2024

Nice day so far. Nutrition feels okay.

82,5% for 4 sets of 3 - Deadlift session 4. I think we'll be careful and go from 230 to 250 - rather than just 250.

I've been playing a lot of Sims 3 after all. It runs smoother with the new disk and some extra mods. Revisiting the characters I created in May 2023... I can see my mind and soul have gotten healthier, happier.

Workout

Ponderations on warmup and how I currently associate warming up with getting injured - cause all these warmups recently did not help at all. Some thigh outward twists with a thick rubber band around knees

20 - 70 - 120 - 160

200 for 3 mixed grip, feels okay

230 for 3 not bad, mixed grip

240 for 3 nice, not bad, smooth, velocious

Kind of a random thought - what all this wokeness garbage that had gotten into the throats of even the majority Democrat voters - what if all that is a form of inoculation to create a strong, healthy America for a hundred years? Works exactly like a vaccine - doesn't destroy society fully, but provokes the society's immune system to fight it and develop immunity to it - that makes too much sense, but I admit it's definitely a super far reach, hehe.

245 for 3 high belt - two reps mixed grip, I let go of the bar and immediately felt a lot of skin pain XD had to use straps... Straps are lowkey a smarter choice at all times - provided they don't completely eliminate your need for grip usage (i.e. if you let go of the bar it falls on the floor rather than hangs on your wrists!) Smart statement here, I think... People don't understand a lot of things, I do understand a lot of things... Hehehe.

250,5 for 3 - very nice, all reps decent but not all quite velocious. I can't stop myself from experimenting - I did first two reps facing the car, i.e. on the downwards sloping floor... And I did them high belt as well. First felt unusual but was fairly normal, second had a really slow strenuous lockout - upper back lockout, like Konstantinov! I think my upper back is a little weaker than what I'm used to. Third rep - I belt on midsection, faced the normal way - it was decent.

Hallelujah - no excessive noticeable pains/strains today! Thank God, always and forever. Thank You for your prayers as well!

 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 ...
