October 13th, Monday - Light strength workout

 13.10.2025

It's technically 14th, as per usual 😁 I gotta go somewhere *today*, a simple task but heck I'm feeling so fuckign lazy! 😆 Frick me, I'm such a lazy bitch! Pick up that diploma and hopefully have stitches taken out at the clinic. Anyway, today I'm feeling good and writing something TRULY new. Well, to be fair I have been writing a great bunch of truly new stuff since chapter 6 - thus the recounting of chapters. Slowly turning into a plotter from a pantser! Also please pray for me, dear reader - I have been praying for YOU! Do you feel that, feel that right now? That's GOD'S GRACE travelling to YOU right now, through time!

Workout

Warmup - pretty long, a lot of cool rubber moves for shoulders and wrists; wrist feels almost okay, just a little stiff.

Overhead press

20 - 50 - 70

90 - 4 sets of 3 - it's a light workout focusing on CNS. Weight is medium but I'm pressing it as fast and powerfully as possible, also very strict. Close to full-racking it, but still a little stiff - haven't done it in a while.

I've been yearning for PP (push press!) I haven't had good PP gains in years, so lame! But I haven't done it today. Bench took its place!

Bench

20 - 50 - 70 - 80 - 85 for 10

Might have done 70 for two sets. Pecs feeling pretty raw, that last workout wasn't nothing! 😮

Squat

50 - 70

100 for 5 - some hip pain, not warmed up right

150 for 5 - feel good, focusing on control, staying in the hole stiffly without dropping into it OR relying on hamstring stretch - like some powerlifters do. It's just some nice light effort. Here I was wearing crocs and standing heels on plates. On OHP I was wearing weightlifting shoes.

Thank God, truly, always and forever! Hallelujah!

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 ...
