OHP session 14 today. 5 sets of 4 with 80% and a strict single with 82,5%. The working weight for OHP will be around 108. PP around 125... Will that be too much? Probably not. I feel much better today.

It's kinda late - past midnight, in fact. But still, I think I can have a nice one.

***

Okay. after some thinking I decided that it's not the right way to go about it and I'm gonna have a light one instead. A really light one. But it'll also help me alleviate soreness from yesterday (moderate).

Workout

Lat rubber pulls

3 sets of 20 - medium. Lats are pretty decently blasted after yesterday, mostly thanks to weird uneven grips hehe.

Tricep extension from behind head, 2 springs (very light)
Supersetted with wall pushups

3 sets of 50 (in each) - surprisingly hard for tricep today

Watching and listening to Yale psychology course while doing this... Tricep and pecs decently pumped. I am pretty sure I NEED more upstairs workouts... That will give me better recovery.

Calf raises - 3 sets of 75 - burning. Need to bring back everything... Before I eventually end up focusing on the garage again.

There are positions in which calf raises are much more difficult to do. Such as keeping legs straight, toes outside and not focusing on lifting up your whole body but rather flexing calves into the body, with the whole body being kinda like a spring rather than a stiff weight... That's what I ended up doing today. Interesting, but not a form of an exercise conducive to specific kinds of lifting.

My calves calfs calfes have grown astoundingly huge, making me look like some kind of weird animal. In fact, I'm gonna go downstairs and measure them, especially since I was going downstairs anyway...

It's only 46 cms, much to my surprise! And the right one is mere 45 at most.

Horseman stance (2 sets), thigh squeezes 2 sets, thigh outward rotations with thick rubber 2 sets. Squats in front of the windowsill - 2 sets

 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 ...
