June 25th, Wednesday - Deadlift 250 for 5 sets of 5, small PR!

 25.06.2025

Nice day. Woke up really early. Slept a lot yesterday. Long day today. Thank you for your prayers - there seems to be progress about the clerical stuff. Keep praying, please! It's not over.

Ate moderate, but then I ate more. Almost ten hours ago though. Heh. I forget.

Had two coffees. Bought a new bag - it's pretty nice. Can't really rate/review it yet, but I like it more than the previous. Arabica, light roast, comme il faut. "Poetti Legenda Ruby".

Had two 31-32 over roughly 400 grams. Second one, I double ground it. It was nice.

Really enjoying music and writing today. Feeling assured about my abilities. It's early, it just turned 6 PM! And I'm already done with warmup!

Workout

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120

160 for 3

200 for 3 - pretty easy overhand reps, all three! Not a very long rest between reps.

230 for 3 strictly straps

250 for 5 not bad, not perfect pacing and movement, but decent

250 for 5 - much better, no breaks between reps; high belt loose, narrow-ish parallel stance

250 for 5 good, long break before this set, I was a little afraid I've gone cold but it turned out alright, all reps one after another

250 for 5 very good, fast again, only a few breaths before 5th rep

250 for 5 lovely. Four swift reps, and another one after a short breather. Interesting fact - the right plateshaft almost got unscrewed off the bar, heh. I reckon it's natural for me to DL with the right side lower than left, how peculiar. Just move a bit, an inch to the left? Or perhaps it's that the markings on the bar are simply not even? Ohkay.

And yeah, I'm not sure if I've ever done 250 for 5 sets of 5. Feels like I never have... My last "noticeable" peakout was in November 2023, I think... Have I done it then? And to think my max is 283, smh... Anyways, 250 for 5 sets of 5 is volume PR 😀😀😁

Stiff legged DL

120 - 2 sets of 10

This time I performed it with a wide grip, standing on a plate, not touching the floor, and not lowering the bar far away from my legs. That was quite some stretch! But in this manner it feels like it was more of a stretch for my connective tissue than muscle. Still, I enjoyed.

Going crazy shitposting on teh internets. Listening to Jazz. Chick Korea, Stan Getz, aforementioned Eric Dolphy. Lovely.

 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 ...
