January 22nd - DL 255 for 5 sets of 2

 22.01.2025

DL session 12 - 5 sets of 2 with 85%. Feeling a little weird, but I think it's okay. Sleepy. I managed to wake up earlier but not as early as I hoped. I just gotta stay chill. Had a good time yesterday as I decided not to go anywhere. Monday was super annoying for me, it drained me.

Close to midnight. Put on my deadlifting attire. It's gonna be good, one way or another. I've had this workout so many times, still haven't done 300... I'd like to do 300 this year. Also, I had a pre-training meal today, so that's good choice I made, since I have a peculiar habit of training while fasted for over 12 hours... I had this habit since the start. Not the greatest idea for performance, but there is something peculiar about it. Not saying it's smart though, definitely.

Workout

Deadlift

20 for 20

70 for 15

120 for 10

160 for 5

200 for 5 lazy thoughts in head... Not warmed up yet. Hope to be warmed up before the working sets!

233 for 2 okay but messy... Close to warmed up. I can only wear middle belt loose, else it ruins my movement. Peculiar!

255,5 for 2 hard

255,5 for 2 not bad, but hard second rep

255,5 for 2 upper belt, slightly wider stance - two elements that counteract each other, possibly. Not having a good time mentally. God save you from co-owning property!

These stupid freakouts which I haven't really been having in a while now do drain my energy. I don't know what's fucking wrong... I have a couple ideas. I think if I can manage it we can fix it, eventually...

255,5 for 2

255,5 for 2

Difficult overall, but decent. Not good, but decent. More discipline is what I need.

Bench

20 for 20

40 for 20

40 for 25 - keeps kinda strained since Monday, feels good to do something.

I wanna feel good. I felt okay yesterday. Not so much today. But hey, at least I did all five sets and I felt okay. There were no failed reps at all, even though they were hard and slow today. That's grounds for celebration.

 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 ...
