March 3rd, Monday - Bad overhead lifts, enjoyable squat, pushups

 03.03.2025

I've been way too lazy, fell asleep yesterday. It's all a bit of a mess again, but at least I know I'm not overworking.

Workout

Warmup - some

Overhead press

20 for 20

40 for 15

70 for 8

90 - 3 sets of 5

Squat - quarter squats with 70 kgs to feel it

Push press

70 for 3

90 for 3 a lot of strain

110 for 2 sets of 3 pain

120 for 0 bad setup

120 for 1 lame, pain in forearm

122,5 for 1 kinda the same, different setup

I got untrained somehow last week. Something went wrong! Well, we're fixing it.

125 for 0 just a fail... Too much pain. Head off, sleepy, not right. Well, we're fixing it today.

Squat

70 for 10

120 for 10

160 for 10 feels actually nice, loose wraps underknee

180 for 5 - decided to stop here, although I had a lot of gas. Wraps three loops underknee and two above knee, a little counterintuitive cause that sorta makes your leg wanna bend. I'm very satisfied with today's results, cause these 180 were very easy, albeit not ideally stable. Looking forward to Wednesday...

Pushups - first, just right wrist-palm stretching - all the right hand abuse (OUTSIDE of barbell) - I think it's forcing my hand to grow a lot of tissue inside of it, and the fact that I rested since Thursday made it all come back, now it's stiff as heck, more of a hammer than a hand - and that's **not** a good thing. Second set - some more stretching, a couple static pushups (slow); same for third set.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 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 ...
