August 15th - Nice DL 250 for 5 sets of 3

 15.08.2025

Kinda nice day. Yesterday was nice too, save for some minor distractions. Been eating not too much, sleep has been a little uneven. I think I've gathered enough non-self-contradicting gusto to try and go ahead and do something on my own with that problem of mine. Thank you for your prayers! Thank God, always.

Workout

Deadlift

20 for 10

70 for 10

120 for 8 accelerating it a lot

160 for 3

200 for 3 - I've done the most powerful and confident 200 for 3 overhand grip I've ever done. With small breaks though! Heh.

230 for 3

250 for 3 - I'm really lazy, I have to admit; I'm lifting it wayyy too casually, not generating effort properly! You know what I'm happy about though? How this 250 doesn't STRAIN me at all. It's easy on the tissues right now!

250 for 3 better, first set done with mixed grip after what feels like a long time

250 for 3 not bad, going up easy but not flying up you could say - well, I'm not trying to go for speed or something, it's confidence that matters here. And all the reps are very confident. Nutrition might have been subpar, I might admit. But I feel decent. Simply decent.

250 for 3 - nice set, I got good speed off the floor, decent effort afterwards but still not too fast... I admit I want it to just fly up, feel like it's moving fast.

250 for 3 - that's a 5th set, right? One, two, five... Yeah, it's the fifth! Mucho grande. This one was the easiest - so far. I brought the light rubber bands downstairs earlier - I wanted to see how I can add extra resistance, see? But it felt wrong. NGL I think I will use them - but only AFTER working sets.

250 for 3 - decent, two reps easy, one slow. Feeling good.

Still legged wide grip DL with reverse bands - they take off about 8 kgs from the bottom

140 - 2 sets of 8

70 for 12 enjoyed the easiness

On second set with 140 I did three reps UNDERHAND. Tip grip, not with calluses (base of knuckles). Three only! That was hard. Then remaining 5 without setting on the floor. It's easy. It's really important for me to keep my hamstrings in at least some kind of shape. Or my mid-knee sticking point becomes too hard.

Lovely day. Thank God forever. Please keep praying for me.

 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 ...
