October 8th, Wednesday - Medium OHP, Squat 190x8 PR

 08.10.2025

Nice day. Slept okay, some fever dreams, repeating - unknown scenes from the book, endless teasing dialogue between Marco and Henry. That's the fever part. I was trying to write something as I was sleeping.

Ate okay. Had some pork and eggs, no carbs though. A lot of carbs yesterday however.

Wrote for a while. Quiet scene.

Workout

Warmup - some, a lot

Overhead press

20

50 for 10 nice, feels smooth

70 for 10

90 for 10 real nice, I love how easy it feels even without warmups. Potassium lacking in body but that isn't stopping me. I only have *some* cramps.

100 for 5 nice, pretty strict - although struggling with balance in crocs. Not wearing lifitng shoes or any kind of belt, not even wool belt right now.

100 for 5 - nice, way easier, focusing on pressing "past" the lockout really helps.

100 for 5 harder, some random superstition - not good, although the weight still feels light.

100 for 5 much better, very easy, easiest so far. And strict too, mind you.

100 for 5 super easy, God bless

Squat, heels elevated

70 for 5 - a little awkward for groind and shoulders, need some stretching

100 for 5

150 for 5 belt

190 for 8, wraps under and over, belt - PR+3 reps 😮 That's what you get when you're put down, you try to get out 😁 I lost all feeling of discomfort around my stitches, all tightness gone - possibly cause I did stretch my skin pretty hard here, especially on the last set, it was deep and I took some time crawling out. I paused at 5, I reckoned 6 wouldn't be too much. After easy 6th rep it was only reasonable to go up to 8 😁 I guess I'm glad I never worked my squat hard in the last few years so I can have small moments like this one today lol 😁 I definitely feel like I'm pretty close to a round number for round reps IYKYK 😉

That's it. Gotta do some more writing, try to at least...

 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 ...
