March 29th - DL doubles, good

 29.03.2026

So, I have DL today. Really enjoyed writing yesterday. I feel like I'm finally on to something with my idea of showing what you have when you've lost everything. I'm doing something right with the prose. I might miss my crazy energy but I still have it, it's just that it'll need to take a couple steps of transformation into something more formal in my own way.

Workout

Deadlift

20 for 20

70 for 10, focusing on some reps having a fullest lockout, even leaning back

120 - 160

200 for 5 - OHG, only two reps were okay with the full lockout (the last two!) but they all were above knee. It's fascinating that I can't start with a good grip position for OHG.

233 for 2 - one mixed, one straps. Having *some* issues with head pressure, but they're moderate. Nose closes up too, but not excessively.

248 for 2 - hard but not bad

263 for 2 - doable

265 for 2 feels kinda good, feeling the WARMUP

268 for 2 really good

270 for 2 hard but good speed and lockout

273 for 2 - here, I was beset by sudden superstition and had one "false start" - I actually started applying pressure but stopped, then did that first rep. It felt wrong! Something was wrong, technique-wise. I reset, took some time; was extremely satisfied with the second rep - easy and smooth, perfect link-by-link bracing and acceleration. Walked back and racked the bar, felt good.

Shrugs - or, rather, actual high pulls, managing to beat the bar with my thighs! I'm glad I discovered the "weave the bar away" technique before bumping it up. It was a video by Torokhtiy.

70 - 2 sets of 10

And that was it. That feeling when you rip off the belt after the workout, heh!

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 ...
