July 4th, 2025 - Lovely light session

 04.07.2025

Nice day. Sleep moderate, nutrition slightly above average. Riding a wave of stimulation. Have internet issues with one of my students, it drives me insane, angry. Had some coffees - one cup of instant, one pot of 30/330 conventional while reading House of Leaves downstairs - it's really picking up! - and another cup of instant coffee.

Workout

Light one for today

Lat pulls, to chest

5 spring expander - 7 sets of 30, using rope as a handle, rotating forearms

Pullups - chinups

2 set of 15 + 5 - not really strict, pretty hard! Second set was even harder, but I was reminded of apes on those last reps.

Curls - couple very light sets, cause I was feeling like it, one with 2 kg dbs, another with 6es.

Rear delt flys - done a-la one handed bent over supported swings 😁 Actually a fun exercise.

6 kg dumbbell - 3 sets of 20 each arm. Delts burn all the while the rest of the back pumps in a lovely manner. It's a pretty epic exercise, a lot of fun. Making me feel like some ancient disc thrower.

Squat - bodyweight

5 set of 20 - I forget how beautiful and revitalizing BW squats are. It's like drinking water for my connective tissues. Perfect amount of stimulation and bloodflow without any strain (provided I ain't coming up with some funny tweak lol)

Spring expander (i.e. chest expander) - some more straight arm pulls/flys until my left rear delt is CRAMPING UUUUUGH lol. At least it's obvious where it's located now! That was just a little too much. I've been forgetting creatine but not yesterday!

Man, it's such a lovely light session I've had today, I simply love it. Hallelujah!

 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 ...
