July 29th - very nice Bench doubles

 29.07.2026

My sleep's been a total mess. About it later.

Workout

Warmup - wall pushups many sets, parallette pushup holds/stretches in short ranges. Wrist really strained on that first 113 PP set before yesterday - I was sad and distracted, should have taken a break and got my mind together. And it was a rather small issue!

Bench press

20 - 40 - 60 - 80

110 for 6 lovely, great speed, scowling when I send the bar up 😁

133 for 4 nice too

153 for 2 not bad

163 for 2 really nice

165,5 for 2 - hard, but nice long range rather that Spoto. I THINK I need to make sure I don't rotate my elbows the wrong way. I also had too much caffeine but thankfully not dehydrated yet. But brain is messy.

165,5 for 2 much better, great speed 😀

165,5 for 2 a little worse - some balance issues, but otherwise smooth

168 for 2 - nice but a little too slow on second rep lockout

168 for 2 - nice speed but I ended up uneven, bumped my right elbow against the floor and did not lock out my right arm fully on the second rep... I gotta make sure I'm balanced well.

168 for 2 - lovely! Much better, the best set of 168. I fixed my issues, made it even, felt the bench with my back, had a good speed on both reps and that is technically 93% of my max lol - pretty nice!

70 - 2 sets of 20 - controlling the movement very well, supersetted with some crazy dirt and dust cleanup from under the big floormat.

Tried to do a few OHPs but my wrist is still a little strained. Gotta leave it safe.

The dust cleanup sent me into a fit of cleaning; my mind is a very thin layer of dry skin rn cause my body is telling me I'm supposed to be asleep already. I walk around and babble brainrot jokes and I can't stop cleaning. Feels good!

I've been enjoying my instant coffee with sugar and lemon way too much. Lemon somehow negates something, I don't know. Kinda low brain power rn, I admit. Not a big deal! Looking forward to Deadlift... tomorrow? I really been wanting to get back to writing, so many ideas, but states like that distract me from it heh. Well, I'm charging up!

 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 ...
