Beyond the code

Training and music, run with the same method I use at work: measure, plan, adjust.

(A)

Strength & power

I train in a garage gym with full-body sessions that repeat every week: weighted calisthenics, barbell compound lifts, plyometrics and bodyweight skills (front lever, handstand, muscle-up, human flag, planche). Each block lasts four weeks and changes method every week: pause reps, weighted work, EMOM, pyramid sets. Then a deload week. The goal is performance, not looks: jump, sprint and strength.

Music & video

I do it all myself: I play and record acoustic guitar, edit the audio in GarageBand and Logic Pro, shoot the video and cut it in DaVinci Resolve.
