April 16th, Wednesday - Health issues, light session

 16.04.2025

Been feeling kinda bad today. Not "bad" bad, my energy is not too low, but my 'hardness', my concentration is kinda mid. I feel softer than I should be and I have overwhelming radiating pain through my left side, from back to chest. No idea where it's coming from - caffeine, my uneven bed, or the fact that I might have tweaked my chest and sheared some muscle tissue in my back on that failed rep two weeks ago. But it hurts, the pain is radiating, it does seem really connected to my stomach for some reason, it comes and goes, it's easier when I do the squat stretch aaand I've been awake for almost 16 hours already - cause I might have successfully switched into 1.5 days since Sunday, or possibly even before that. 1.5 days means three days turns into two days, and it's really funny. That's why I'm having a super light session today. Very, very light. I wanted to have a deadlift, I enjoyed my buzz when I had my lovwly 35/420 conventional brew around noon today, the second one was mediocre and the third one felt like drinking motor oil. I wanted to do sets of 5 with 250, but I think I'll be doing something much more moderate tomorrow. Today it'll be just flys, lats, curls, BW squats (or maybe goblet squats). Could do one arms presses too, it's good for me.

Only had a decent meal today for the first time in the last three days. Barely had anything at all except a couple pastries yesterday. Glad I bought milk, but I ended up having thick sour milk when I shook awake at night with that pulsing stomach pain you get in the early morning. The milk helped, although not immediately. I might be fucked up if you're reading all that, but I tend to believe it's not as bad as it seems. Right now I have some of that pain I mentioned localized to my back. I think turning to the right and standing turned to the right helps... Gosh, my diary feels a little too intense to write. Stop writing about all that pain, it's starting to scare me. On the good news, that hole in my skin, it's starting to heal up. It's not as swollen and it's full of pus now. The winning strategy was to cover it in disinfectant, not the zincum ointment. Zincum ointment is good for scratches and cracks, not actively healing deep wounds.

Workout

Warmup - pipe shoulder moves

One arm press

16 kg kettlebell - 3 sets of around 20 - I admit, I wasn't counting very diligently except on third set. I think I'm sort of understanding that kettlebell sport technique now, it's a really curious thing! My abs and lumbar are pumped from it

Flys, full range

6+6 kg dumbbells - 2 sets of 15

Rubber pull - 2 sets of 20

Ring pullups, floor supported - 2 sets, random reps - not feeling great here due to my strange pain. Second set was better

Curls, straight bar - sets of 10

17 - 27 - 37 - 37 - 37

 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 ...
