August 6th - Light session - Lats, curls and squat

 06.08.2025

Woke up feeling good and sharp today. Residual CNS hardening from yesterday! I just know it *is* possible to ride this wave, stay functional without crashing. It takes a lot of discipline. Sometimes I can enter this groove and I stay in it for weeks until I overtrain... If only I could enter it again, heh heh!

Wasn't sure what to do today - bench, ohp, squat? Ended up spending some time writing. Decided to settle on a light-iss accessory workout.

Workout

Rubber pulls - a couple green ones I purchased recently

30, 40, 50

Parallel grip pullups on the street - 1 set of 15

Chinups - 1 set of 15

Pullups were not very strict, but decently powerful. I weigh over 110 kgs now.

Curls

6 kg dbs - 2 set of 40 short reps in a peculiar leaning forward technique, elbows forward too. Sort of like I'm trying to pick up a solid object; I can feel my biceps way better that way.

16 kg kettlebell - 2 set of 40 - similar manner, really fun exercise, you can sort of juggle the kettlebell. Moderate pump, bicep and forearms.

Squat, bodyweight

3 sets - typical slow hip/squat stretching and static holds/pushes a-la sumo drill

1 set of around 10

2 sets of 15

Some more stretching, deep squat and duck walk style.

RPotD - cool rocket system

 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...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 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 ...
