December 6th - Bench 145-150, 5 sets of 5, some light stuff

 06.12.2025

God bless. I reckon I done a good smart thing by not switching to Windows 11.

Nice day, truly. So much strange suffering on Thursday and most of Friday, right until the end. Heavy weights, wash the soul, dress the wound. Heal!

Feeling good and solid today. Didn't sleep much but felt okay. Not much hungry, but ate some.

Wrote, wrote well and direct, from soul. Things are clearer now. Gotta take your time sometimes. God have mercy!

Thank you for your prayers again. Please do not stop!

Workout

Bench

20 and 50

100 for 5

120 for 5 okay

130 for 5 short break after this one

145 for 5 nice

145 for 5 okay

150,5 for 5 nice, pretty easy

150,5 for 5 a little weird, started doing the 'elbows out' a little too much. Otherwise a powerful set.

150,5 for 5 nice, much better

100 for 5 paused, very wide grip

100 for 5 paused, medium-narrow (OHP with thumbnail) grip - feels interesting, kinda makes me wanna do more of that at this point, now that I more or less got used to wide grip!

A year ago I was trying to fix my pecs. So many sessions ended with sharp pain, muscle tweaking, separating. And look at us now! God bless, Glory to Him! 😀

I wanna do more though. I need some gymnastics and rehab for my legs in general. BUT NO mobility or flexibility work of any kind for my ankle. I gotta harden it now. I've been tweaking it hard AFTER working on mobility. And I even walked this week, did not roll it until yesterday. Man, that was a LONG week lol. That's what daytime living schedule does for you, and to you.

Squat, static holds, variations of horseman stance - 4 sets

Rubber lat pulls - light, 20-30 reps; superset with -

Neck extensions with harness, using arms for resistance - 4 sets

RPotD - Leucosticte arctoa (Asian rosy finch) on branch in Shiga Prefecture, Japan.

 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 ...
