March 9th - OHP and PP singles, seasonal PR, light squat

 09.03.2025

Had an amazing day before yesterday, despite not working out. Sleep has been a little wack.

Workout

Warmup - thorough

Overhead press

20 for 20

50

70

90 for 1

100 for 1

110 for 1

110 for 1

I've been feeling so weird inside of my head. It's all because of the showers and possibly because I keep having some kind of allergy/throat irritation. My throat often feels like it folds in on itself after showering. But showering is so good for muscle... Not sure if good for brain. Brain used to feel bad, weird, like dry, gnarled wood - not even a tree, but a chunk of salty dry white wood on a river shore... Not if feels like stone, like a round little stone that would have been perfect for skipping if it wasn't so small... Brain reactions are different. I feel like I have high test, but I'm not sure. Easily irritated, but this irritation is different. Brain chemistry more so than mind - that is what I believe, but I might be wrong... Maybe it's my own thinking that is wrong.

113 for 1

113 for 1

115,5 for 1 not bad

Push press

53

103 for 1

123 for 1 feels nice

133 for 1 a little wobbly, but good, smooth direct movement. I have a suspicion that ocnventional squats are better for pushing than quarter squats. But quarter squats do feel like a nice accessory exericse... Just not sure for what 😁 I can't be fucking arsed to fixed my typos btw, sorry about that 😀

138 for 1 - not bad. I think I'm supposed to wear my belt low, under belly, same as on OHP. Works better for me... Also it's a seasonal PR 😁

Squat - quarter squat

138 - 2 sets of 10 

Squat

138 for 10 - more normal, did it in a peculiar way - one rep normal depth, one attg, pause, and so on. Focusing on making breathing easier

 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 ...
