June 28th - some DL and Bench, Medium singles and medium-light

 26.06.2026

So, nice day so far. Yesterday I had a rare nice rest day - finished writing the first chunk of ch8rw4 of Marco, two small episodes. I think I'll try to write some more today, but I'll need to catch "it" - the right kind of stimulation.

Today we deadlift. I had some nice meat and vegetables in tomato sauce and now I have a lot of NO in blood and in my gastric system.

Workout

Printed the documents for my issue thing as warmup lol. One step closer to getting over that bs.

Deadlift

20 - 70 - 120

163 for 5 DOHG

Started having a snack here - a couple rolls of flatbread with butter. Hands greasy

183 for 3 DOHG not bad although pacing myself

193 for 3 DOHG worse - did two failed reps after 2, warned myself not to develop a bad moving habit, got my stuff together and did a nice third rep, walked back and racked it

Decided I don't need to do 203 as a part of warmup.

Singles

233 - 253 - 253

255,5 for 1

255,5 for 2 cause I was upset from not feeling warmed up at this point

258 for 1 - very nice rep and I was really confused for a second after it when I again noticed the right sleeve rolled off almost completely - the inner screwpiece fell out

263 for 2 sets of 1 - alright, this felt good.

Guess what? I think I should be able to do some Bench today. About as moderate as the DL but even lighter. Energy accumulation.

Warmup - wall pushups, floor pushups stretches, holds and some pushups themselves

Bench press

20 - 40 - 60 - 70

90 for 5

110 - 3 sets of 5

Energy was really low, mood below mediocre. Daytime living isn't quite rewarding the way I'm doing it. I wish I knew more.

 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 ...
