March 8th, Sunday - Difficult DL, 4 sets of 6

 08.03.2026

Interesting fact about today - I flipped the bar, so the sleeve is now sliding off of the left side.

Workout

Some rare warmup - calf raises, squat-to-kneel ankle drill (might not have been the best idea)

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120 - 160

203 for about 7 off-the-floors, out of them 2 were good with the flipped side, and one really good one when I stepped over it to even out the sides - so basically just 3 OHG reps, but two were extra difficult in figuring out where and how to grip this flipped bar

243 for 6 - very nice set, somewhat easy. If it wasn't for the bare can of beans I consumed yesterday it would have been an even better set. But by rep 4 I farted so densely and hotly I thought I definitely shitteded myself. Thankfully it was, in fact, just a fart. Realities of deadlifting!

253 for 6 super lame, kinda feeling like shit, otherwise easy. Kinda just low energy, blood too thick. Should have had more food later.

253 for 6 better set. This one was better. I'm close to warmup. Insides aren't quite tumultuous. The player really annoys me cause it keeps cutting out one ear.

I really want to do 6 reps without making a break.

253 for 6 pretty bad. Otherwise glad I pulled through a 4 sets of 6 kind of workout.

My recovery was lacking, and my metabolism too. Yesterday I slept too long and then I woke up at midnight today and stayed up for a while. Low appetite, nutrition also uneven. There is an issue with sleeping during the day, and it's that you sleep worse. But I have been feeling better. It's just that I did not maintain it too well and my body hadn't gotten used to the renewal of a "five day week" yet. You can't do the "five day week" permanently, but it is great when you can do that.

Some time later

 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 ...
