Monday, March 31st - Light OHP and Squat, not feeling perfect

 31.03.2025

I've been kinda feeling really lame, low on energy. It's mostly physical. Ate well though, spent money on groceries for once. Cause I had really shitty food for two days. Cause I just didn't care - that's my own fault. I don't want chicken or fish, give me normal meat. It's honestly all I need to live and function well.

A lot of random pains. Around a month ago I slammed my shin against a corner and it hasn't healed very well at all. Got a hole in my skin. Shouldn't have peeled it off too early, lol. Elbow though, the one I hurt two weeks ago - it's good, I basically forgot about it.

I got my wish and had nice heavy workouts for a while... Now I might have to pay for it. Well, not really. I feel decent now. It's already April 1st, technically. And I **have** to work out - else I'll be very upset. BUT I can make it short and light for once - I know that today I can do it without being upset. Thank God.

Workout

Warmup - some

Overhead press

70 - 5 sets of 5 feels good

Squat

70 and 90 for 3

120 - 3 sets of 3

Feels good too. Just a light, late night session. I need to have these more often. They are perfect to do in the 'middle' of the hard recovery wave - so you can ride it, longer and higher.

In music, we have hipster stuff. We have lost media, ancient forgotten demos/released we like to search for and listen to. In literature? There probably is something like that as well. Lost reading forums, things of that sort. Literature is a less cohesive consumer hobby, as opposed to genre music. Hmm.

 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 ...
