September 7th, Sunday - DL fail, writing

 07.09.2025

Really nice day. I ate well but couldn't sleep well. Messy, jerky, really angry once I woke up. I bought some incredibly disgusting robusta. It happens! It's gonna be another one of those "bags in the back". THEY are not telling what kind of coffee it is! And I just made a little slip as I was sorting through items. Oh well! I really enjoyed today, after I got over my rage. Enjoyed reading Suttree. I really dislike people who read books and make it a part of their personality. But if I know you personally obviously that supersedes it. It's okay to read book! Just don't tell strangers you do, please 😁 I'm here trying to read and write. I used to be a consumer. Music, is what I started to produce back in the day. An interesting path in life! Then, slep by step, slip by slip, jump after jump - and now I'm actually trying to write. Hmm.

The maxout is something that is supposed to happen spontaneously. I have screwed up my recovery, overworked just a little.

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120 - 160 - 200

230 for 3 - did one rep with a pause for lulz. Too random!

250 for 2 - same, super easy

270 for 2 - pretty easy, no pauses

280 for 1 - it felt really easy, but the video showed it was kinda slow.

303 up to the sticking point - fail 😁 I got it to my knees and held it there for half a second... Same as I did 290 in May! 🤓 So there is some point of connection 😁

303 not even got it off the floor... Lol. Burned out! I think you have to do 303 with people. It's a super number, a round number. A big, real change. And I can do it. I got it to my knees and held there. But my back angles were a little too sharp. My tissues hurted. I didn't "shove it in" enough. Fail, experience earned, a chance to do it better...

Some grip - CoC1 parallel squeezes, managed to get 90 kgs with the right on the dynamometer - and that's after a LOT of plate pinching 😁 And obviously the DL. 250 was SOOO easy... But I was worried. I was raging. AND I WROTE. I wrote very well! Messy, but inspired - as I was under tension. I wrote a tense, vivid scene. Chapter 5 as I went back to rewrite it FULLY for the Nth time. AND THUS concluding the first "arc" / "act" of the story. After this the genre changes subtly. I think I'm goign to write something new tomorrow - as I work out. Should be blessed! I am thinking of OHP. Yes. The first session in the story was Squat. It's reasonable that OHP should be second. And the serious heft, the one requiriring dedication, effort and experience - the DL. That's for August of the story! It's still June in the story at that point, you see. There are a lot of little niggles in the story, things to pull on, to try and uncover. Lovely. I have given myself a degree of a transformative experience. It is interesting. Altered state of mind. Because your brain has secret buttons - buttons I've been playing with since I was a child.

Share thine deadlift with your loved ones!

Hallelujah! Glory to Our Lord Jesus Christ! 😀

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...

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 ...
