November 18th - Decent DL after a while

  17.11.2025

Technically 18th. Just a light workout.

Rubber pulls - 2 sets light, 3 sets heavier

Ring pulls, feet on floor - 2 sets of 10

Curls, heaving with extra force - 6+6 kg dbs for 3 sets of 30

Horseman stance, variations - 5 sets, not very long - just to have something.

Leg warmups, ankle stretches - some throughout. Right ankle is way better! Thank God.

Very nice day. Writing a lot. Coffee - too. Thinking, reading out loud. Got my throat sore from all that speaking.

I randomly wanted to add some warmup. So I did kettlebell swings - 2 sets of 10 with 16 kg and a set of 20 with a 32.

Deadlift

20 for 10

70 for 10

120 for 5

163 for 5

203 for 6 OHG - not bad but kinda messy, had to keep adding chalk

233 for 5 - one mixed grip, one reverse mixed, two straps - kinda hard

238 for 5 - three reverse mixed grip, two straps - kinda lame, gotta word through it all

243 for 5 - nice, finally starting to feel warmed up. Five breaths, five lifts!

248 for 5 - nice, very similar but a little more messy due to having to change my grip a little. A lot of farting!

253 for 5 - decent, a little better than the previous set but not as good as 243 for 5. Took a while, all this. Some breaks were short, some very long. I wrote!

Cleaned up the space a tiny bit, pulled the floor rug a bit more onto the wall, repositioned the plates, all pinching; pinched a pair of 25s - lifting with both hands in air, lowering with one. I'm just a little better at it now. I remember when I could pinch them real easy!

 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 ...
