October 10th, Friday - Deadlift 230 3x8 and 250 3x2, OHG DL 200x5 small pr

 10.10.2025

Day a little weird. I have an inferiority complex. In my dream I cried after a perceived minor slight. Why? Why is my mind so, I dunno, non-newtonian? Why can't the government treat me well, me, a good citizen who's been paying his taxes, just pleading? God, please have mercy on me, I can barely take it anymore. Please don't take it as a threat of any kind.

Please pray for my unstable, undeveloped soul, dear reader from the future. A soul that can do so much.

Wrote, enjoyed, staving off wrath successfully. Read too, three different books that have become a part of my habit.

Workout

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120 - 160

200 for 5 overhand grip - I think it might be a PR 😃

230 for 8 - nice, 6 reps quick, I stood up to put the belt high, two more. Belt was loose all the time though. This set was not yet "warmed up", but felt good. I wanna do it more powerfully though, balance it with breathing.

230 for 8 - nice, much easier. Warmed up here. Tighter belt, high. Again took a pause after six though, to rewrap the straps. I'm hitting my thumbs and hand in general when I lower the bar. I don't always dump it, but I prefer the "controlled drop". I got my hands on it, and it pulls me down, that's how I hit my hands. Hm.

Please pray for me. No matter what you think of me - please pray for me, please. Say a single word, any word, to anyone. Please pray for me. I'd pray for you; I do right now, even though I do not know you. You might know me, but I do not know who's reading. Please pray for me!

230 for 8 - nice very easy, cardio including. No liver stings anywhere today. Hip - left hip, this time - hurted a little. I've been left leg dominant after Sunday. But last two sessions helped me "re-stretch" myself after the sewing of the skin, although ankle is still a little swollen.

250 - 3 sets of 2 - simple, casual; gotta let the strength stay. That's been my approach! Left hip hurt on second set though. Did't hurt on third!

Unloaded the plates, did some actual pinching - a pair of 25s, could not lift it at all with either hand. That is not good, even considering it's after the DL! I'm out of pinching shape. Did two-handed pinches, moving the effort between hands. My nail are very long; I wasn't trimming them for the DL, it's a little better that way. Pinched a pair of 15s too, but that's too easy. But hey, I did 200x5 in OHG! I might have done something like that earlier this year, to be honest, but let's say it was more confident today than before.

Feeling amazing. Solid, serious, strong. Thank God for this relief! And thank You for Your prayers.

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 ...
