December 15th, Monday - High rep DL, pretty light

 15.12.2025

Nice day. Happy. Was strangely happy all day yesterday. Probably because I showered 😁 Ate very little, just some meat and tomatoes in the morning, some snacks later.

So, we're restarting out intuitive deadlift microcycle. Interesting! I intend to keep is close to super easy cause deadlifting every five days is not too easy. So far this workout is shaping out alright, happy. Also I wrote today, that's good too 😀 Finished chapter 16 of RW3 of Michigander Marco. That's been my mental title for a while, I reckon it's catchy enough! Nothing excessive, although I admit the density of Michigan worship isn't particularly high - but there are some nice moments. Maybe I'll stuff in more, I have a lot of memories. I guess that's what I care about since it came to my mind, eh? It's a moment in the book where a major plotline ends and smaller ones continue before more big stuff happens, as it is inevitable in life! I dread a life in which big stuff doesn't happen.

Workout

Warmup - pulling on clothes, a lot. I've been enjoying this synthetic undergarment/longsleeve shirt I purchased since it doesn't stink anymore. I do sweat in it though, but it seems it doesn't get wet!

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120

160 for 10 - OHG

203 for 10 - two attempts OHG but I somehow couldn't do it well; did ten with straps. Legs loaded a lot! Breathing, cardio - they do get sharp but I managed not to gasp and gulp, all nose breathing despite having belt high on this set.

203 for 10 - one rep semi-okay OHG, 9 in straps, only one rep per breath - way easier for cardio this way lol

203 for 10 - one OHG rep above knees - I didn't count it this time; took a small break then did 10 nice and powerful reps. I was breathing real hard afterward cause of how much I was controlling the bar - this time I was lowering it gingerly, especially since I noticed the left barbell sleeve ended up almost completely unscrewed 😁

Now I still wanna go ahead and do something with these OHG reps... And I also **need** to do stiff leggers, that's right.

Romanian DL

160 for 8 - short range, arched back a-la power cleans. First I tried OHG with a narrow grip was it just was too hard somehow. Is it possible lack of food affects

160 for 8 - more conventional, almost touching the floor, wide grip on both.

That's about it. I believe it's possible I might be inclined to work out tomorrow. Things are sort of good, aren't they? Thank God! Thank you, dear reader, for your prayers, whoever you are 😀

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 ...
