August 1st and 3rd - failed DL and tweaking pec on bench

 01.08.2025

Nice day, really nice. Yesterday wasn't nice but it ended up okay. I ordered takeout for the first time in a long time. A great amount of food. It cost as much as 8 kgs of pork. I ate it all and was hungry this morning. Japanese, sushi. I ate it all on my own and watched anime, cause that seemed fitting for the moment, lol.

Today's the second session in the last microcycle of our "New Program". 270 for 3 sets of 3 and some extra volume. Should be hard! It's pouring. I'm listening to jazz on the speakers and enjoying writing. I had a couple instant coffee cups today so far and one moka. Finished it just now. It's not enough.

Workout

deadlift

20 for 10

70 for 10

120 for 5

163 for 5

203 for 5 kinda bad technique, weird

233 for 2 done as 1+1 - obviously, I could have done a lot with this weight if I pushed myself, but I came to realize I'm really tired and my CNS is seriously fatigued... And I did have a kind of a serious and very nice squat workout just one day ago. And yesterday was kinda bad, made me feel like a brick being thrown onto pavement from second story. Not shattered, but likely not very solid.

Overhead press

70 - 3 sets of 8 - you know, it's nice. Nice and easy, shoulders feel strong. Maybe I'll do something tomorrow.

03.08.2025

A lot of wrst/tricep stretches and wall pushups. My right wrist is working against my tricep!

Bench press

20 - 73 - 93

123 for 15 not bad, but not fully warmed up here

123 for 15 feeling better

123 for 12 + 3 - had a mishap here, popped my right upper pec in a typical fashion. Ran out of power, paused, did three more. It's only a pop, a little overstretching. Nothing too troublesome, but good enough to avoid reproducing it. Gotta stick to my medium grip with controlled elbows, the best I can put it. Let's see what set 4 will be like...

123 for a few reps - the tweak is hurting, that's gotta be it for today. Not the first time I've handled this issue; you just gotta be patient and try to have decent recovery.

Flys, full range

2 kg dbs - 3 sets

Squat

3 sets of hip/squat static/dynamic stretches

 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 ...
