September 1st, Monday - Nice DL

 01.09.2025

Good news so far... Thank you so much for your prayers. Thank God, forever and always!

Had some sort of micro-warmup last night. Was considering doing some Bench but decided against it.

You know, I did 240 for 4 sets of 4 INSTEAD of 230 last time... LOL. And it was all pretty easy. That's gotta tell you something about my psyche. It's the final microcycle. I'm feeling real good. My legs are stiff and a little fatigued from that 3x3 on Saturday. That was all very easy. But my energy preparedness, the actually muscle cell energy rather that energy "in general" - it wasn't perfect. But when it comes to DL it is close to perfect. I had good sleep and I had good food and my mind has been at ease, warm, ready to light up - but not cracking, not breaking. Been watching videos from Iraqveteran8888 - one where he tried to do a "meltdown" on an AK and then the one with AR. Yeah, AK is better but AR has its benefits obviously! That's why there is usually a designated machine gunner in a squad or at a location.

Deadlift

20 - 70

160 for 4

200 for one really bag overhand rep, another attempt, a break, then one slightly less bad rep and one okay rep with straps 😁

220 for 4 - it would have been a bad set if I hadn't gotten my shit together after the first lame rep and fucking started springing it well, shoving my ass and knees righ'n'there lol

220 - 2 more sets of 4 very easy

280 for 1 - not bad, hard but not devastating 😀

280 for 1 - better, although I'm getting a little distracted, took a long break before this one

280 for 1 - way better, stopped fiddling with weird ideas

280 for 1 - real heavy, just a little grindy but without any kinda jerky movements - so overall a smooth tempo. AND I walked back and racked it which was really hard and made me feel like I'm shifting between realities 😁 Tweaked my right arm, the external rotator muscle from sheer downward pull.

So we've done 220 for 3 sets of 4 and then we straight up did 280 for 5 sets of 1. Who "we"? Me and that other guy who looks and acts a lot like me... They've never seen us in the same room together. He's pretty cool but he can be a little weird. Is it a schizopost or a joke? You decide! 👺

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 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 ...
