June 8th - some nice Bench, but quickly exhausted

 08.06.2026

Yesterday was a pretty amazing day. It took me a while to fall asleep cause I got hungry even though I was pretty much asleep so I woke up and ate. Thank God for all the food right now! Just recently I was going insane and eating some really random stuff. So yeah, if I went to sleep when I was sleepy I probably would have woken up at 2 AM again but instead I woke up at 7 AM strangely full of energy. I took a shower yesterday, the water was a little too cool at first but then it was the perfect temperature after a while, peculiar, isn't it? Maybe that's the secret, the water that feels one percent away from "comfortable" but you get used to it and it starts to feel warm. Well, that's probably not the only thing that contributed to it. I do believe it's likely the fact that I was ASLEEP during the COOLEST time of the day rather than TRYING to fall asleep lol. That was hell! I don't ever wanna do that kind of nighttime again. I'll try to switch as quickly as I can if I ever end up like that.

So, my writing is just there. The final push and then I can post ch4 on destructivereaders.

Workout

Warmup - wall pushups, floor pushup stretches and variations

Bench press - Spoto press, grip narrower than usual with pinkies on the outer markings

20 - 40 - 60 - 70 - 90 - 100

120 for 2 - making sure to rotate elbows out, bar in front of the mouth on unrack

130 for 2

143 for 2

153 for 2 - really nice. Setting up feels way harder than pressing. It is SO MUCH easier to press up and out... How have I been making this mistake?

153 for 2 nice, same here. I really should get that fucking nose operation though.

153 for 2

153 for 2

153 for 4 - I got confused how much I wanna do after four, clearly having figured out I've done enough and I dawdled and lose my chance to press the 5th rep through the sticking point lol. Then I put everything away way too quickly before realizing I might have wanted to do some accessory work. 

Played around with the bar - a few OHPs and variations.

Ankle rehab - hopping around, twisting, variations of all kind. It's better, thank God! I'm closer to being able to stand on my tiptoes the same way I can on the left.

 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 ...
