February 7th - Finally working out, DL 263 for 5 sets of 3

 07.02.2026

Death metal has been playing in my head for a couple days now. For two days in a row (5th and 6th) I'd start having coffee but then get knocked out a while later. Today it shan't be the case. Also I've been really behind on my writing. That whole Tuesday debacle was a real hit on my metabolism.

I got triples to do today. It's only been a week, only a two extra days. I've been kinda losing my shit, emotions burning up calories, but I think I should be able to power through today.

Workout

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120 - 160

203 for 3 - OHG, not bad. There was also one failed rep at first due to misaligned grip. Trying super hard to resummon my writing ability. It's close...

233 for 3 - normal alternate, switch hands, then normal again. Tolerable, not *extremely* messy

263 for 3 - first rep mixed grip and that was a mess, the bar really rolled onto my fingertips, really squished skin but I lifted it. Second rep okay, third rep better, faster. Kind of a casual set, doesn't really feel heavy but not warmed up yet.

263 for 3 a little better but kinda messy, still not warmed up

263 for 3 getting there, feeling almost warmed up, not quite like a machine yet but definitely better than previous sets

263 for 3 nice, definitely warmed up here, all three reps fast

263 for 3 nice, good set, walked back and racked the bar confidently.

My old middle finger has some bloodflow problems. Well, maybe not problems, it just feels a little weird.

Shrugs a-la high pull

70 for 10 not getting on tiptoes but extending and flexing everything else very much

70 for 2 sets of 10 - getting on tiptoes, really messy, glad to have done something, anything else at all. I need to pay some attention to my hip joints, let them warm up and loosen a little. Cramping was manageable today. I really should have started after my first coffee. I managed my "climb" smoothly enough, I'd say!

Squat / hip stretches - 3 sets

 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 ...
