June 2nd, Monday - DL, messy but okay, 4 sets of 6 from 238 to 243

 02.06.2025

Nice day so far. I've been really reflecting on my constant fleshful confusion; I do not wish for anyone to experience that. It is undescribable and makes me feel completely out of control. I wrestle it back, with effort and prayer - not easy. Thankfully, there's nothing too dangerous my flesh is being compelled to do; this confusion is multilayered - not only do I not understand why, I do not understand what. Flesh speaks not in letters this time; a disconnection, translator fired, unwilling to interpret. A unique experience; few people corner themselves the same way I do, I believe. Freedom is what people want, not facing the animal while animal drags them; they simply peer at the sky.

Today we're doing sets of 6 from 235 to 245. Should be easy? Good.

***

Been doing quite some writing... Over 2000 words, a "double" episode if you will. Rewriting some old rewritten stuff...

***

It's pretty late now. Did I mention I've been awake for a while? It's okay. I've just been a little sleepy. I don't wanna wax it out and all that. Anteaventure!

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120 - 160 for 6

200 for 1 okay rep overhand, 2 more liftoffs and 3 reps in straps

235 for 6 - nice, kinda messy but okay for the first working set/final warmup set

238 for 6 - straining my right inner thigh a little - managed to do 5 quick reps and one after a pause

240,5 for 6 - 3 fast reps, paused; that strain again, three more reps - sort of managed to avoid the pain on last rep. Also, I think I figured out the flexed upper back technique - and I admit I don't think it's actually more powerful than my normal technique (at least right now!)

Listening to jazz. Nu Vagis is the most jazz game. Dizzy Gillespie, Eric Dolphy. I love Eric Dolphy's stuff, it's weird but I think his improvisation is sort of similar to mine. Rhythmic, heartbeat, nerve dancing.

243 for 6 - a messy but good in the end set; 4 somewhat fast reps, 2 more slow ones - but no pain, just struggling.

The culprit for my pulled muscle is either my flatfooted squat or my very random upstepping onto the tall porchlanding earlier today. Or the fat that I've been awake for over 20 hours... Given I had a long sleep but still - that's the way I function I guess! (imagine me doing that back and forth fisting/hamming dance move that is a form of fanciful cheerful optimistic self-deprecation; I think Porky Pig does it on occasion)

It ain't that one - the one where he does the fisting, fun gesture, you know? A-la "let's a go!" heh. I never seen him in a cap you know... Or did I? A mandible effect...

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 ...
