October 22nd - Heavy deadlift 4 sets of 3, tiny pr

 22.10.2025

ditillo2.blogspot.com got closed! What a great disappointment. Real sad about it.

I've been reading, reading so much. Writing? Feeling confused about writing right now. Just mostly trite stuff, but my language - it flows very well, or at least it feels like it does.

You see, I often used to say I don't like movies much cause you don't get to know the characters well enough over the two hours. The best you can do it imagine it's the same guy as the actor - you know the actor, so you know the character, that makes sense. Stallone in that buddy cop movie, with Curt Russell.

I appreciate slow narration. Breaking Bad, that was a captivating story. I watched it back then! It's still somehow relevant, crazy.

Workout

Deadlift

20 for 20

70 for 12

120 for 8 - done some weird kneeling DLs here out of impulse

160 for 3

200 for 2 okay OHG reps, two bad reps pulled above knee, one good rep and I racked it. It's all about forearm control, see, that's my issue right now. And enough chalk.

233 for 3 - feels very nice, mixed grip, two alternative mixed grip reps

253 for 3 nice, two reps mixed, one straps

273 for 3 not bad, kinda messy but easy enough. Some strange wobbling experienced on second rep; possibly because of uneven grip.

275,5 for 3 - nice, not bad. I took a little too long for the third rep, just for a song to pick up. It was a good rep but it felt a lot like straight leg dl, interesting.

280,5 for 3 - nice, definitely not light; the third one was quite a struggle, mostly mental in origins I suspect.

283 for 2 and a half - fail, not enough energy in body, did not consolidate it right! That's what I get for training just a little lighter in this microcycle.
283 for 1 to catch up, six minutes later - hey, that's something 😁 You know 280,5 for 3 was a +1 rep PR 😃 And also I'm happy with the start on this rep, it moved fast.

A little distracted, forgot I wanted to do some more stuff.

110 for 2 sets of 10 - Romanian-style, just using my hips, narrow grip on the smooth part of the bar.

Today is a good day. It's a good workout. I'm a little upset about that one rep, and that's really good that I am. I gotta work more on my nerve consolidation, on my volume ability and tighten  my hams. They're not bad but they should be better, tighter. All the standing I do makes them real loose, heh, unlike someone who sits a lot.
