December 10th, Wednesday - DL doubles work-up then 5 singles, pretty heavy

 10.12.2025

Nice day. Ate and slept well. Nerves were waddling a little but I managed. Thank you for your prayers! Read a little bit, wrote a tiny bit; moving on from a dead point.

Workout

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120 - 160

200 for 3 nice OHG

233 for 2 - one rep hook grip even despite a little cut on my middle finger. Feels nice!

253 for 2 mixed grip, switched hands - not bad, but painful.

263 for 2 easy

273 for 2 nice

283 for 1 - I wouldn't say easy, but it was smooth

283 for 1 - a little better, no music cause player died again 😁

283 for 1 - nice, but something went wrong here. I applied my power wrong; the barbell didn't move until the angle changed, probably the angle of my hips. I felt a little too relaxed, too lose here.

I have a feeling the problem might lie in my old slippers, they're a little awkward to wear. Also, I'm testing the fleece underwear I bought, at least the top - it's good, under and over layer, or, rather, first and second.

283 for 1 - nice, hard and grindy but I think better than the previous one.

283 for 1 - nice, really heavy, but on the video it looked so easy! How funny. That's cause the movement was very smooth, I reckon - no sticking.

70 for 10 - stiff leg dl, not touching the floor - a lot of fun, I should try to make it a focal point one day.

70 for 15 - stiff legged as well

Pinching - trying a pair of 25, but could only hold it in the air for a couple second, each hand, left weaker. 25+15 - a couple lifts and passes, 25 on the thumb side.

I should have kept more of my energy about me yesterday, if you know what I mean. I like to have fun. I gotta go! God have mercy on me.

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 ...
