February 26th, Wednesday - Deadlift 230 for 4 sets of 6, very easy

 26.02.2025

DL session 13 - I think. 4 sets of 6 with 75,5%. I will need to rework my DL program eventually. It's generally insufficient, in some ways. We'll do this 'microcycle' and see where we can get from there... I'm really happy about last week. When you get your PR and even mini PRs you get too satisfied and complacent, that *itch* to conquer metal goes away somewhat... Even though it sort of puts me at ease I do not like it! Outside of a few days of satisfaction... I need that itch, that tension, that desire that makes me want to tear the skin off my face and claw my eyes out hehe...

So, let's try to calculate... 72,5 times 3... Ehh... It's gotta be at least 200 or something? Hmmmmmm...

It's super late, well, kinda. I feel good and I know I can lift well. I'm not postponing anything, but I gotta admit I'm kinda a little chill for my own taste rn, heh.

Workout

Deadlift

20 for 20

70 for 15

120 for 10

160 for 6

200 for 6

230 for 6 straps, mid belt - very nice, very easy, full inhale with my throat in between every rep, resetting legs on each rep for that good inhale; straightening the legs and thus also curling the back slightly, legging stomach sag and free up space for that extra oxygen

230 for 6, same, easier, but gassed out after the set

230 for 6 decided to try high belt. Feels decent, but not as powerful - possibly not because of the belt but cause it's third set. Also, it's possible I might have done 7 reps - I couldn't be sure, I felt like I lost count, so I had to count to seven...

230 for 6 good, breathing hard but all nice and fast

280 for 0 up to my knees - kinda wanted to train my strong fibers too, you know? Cause I totally feel like I can do it even with the fatigue of 4 sets of 6

280 same, arguably a little weaker... Okay then. I'm glad I dared to do something I don't usually do 😁 I'm glad I'm that deluded and it doesn't take too much for me to get back onto the ground... Oh 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 ...
