Block 11, Wave 2 - OH
This week I'm working in the hospital all day Tuesday book ended by an hour plus drive each way and I have 2 midterm exams on Wednesday. As such, had I not trained today, I would not be able to train until Wednesday (which would be a very awful training day) or Thursday. That would mean, in turn, that I would either have to condense some/all of my training days or I would have to skip some. I like neither of those options when they are not absolutely unavoidable and since training today solved that problem, I trained today. It wasn't my best work, but it was better than any other option.
Scottish Tornadoes
3x5ea x monster mini
These are the upper-body-only breakdown of my rotational single arm press stone throw training exercise performed with a band. I was going to name them Irish Tornadoes, but stone throwing is a Scottish sport so there you have it.
Log C&J (clean once)
complex x 85
complex x 135
complex x 185
2x215
2x245
4x2x275
Went into this training session knowing I felt like trash and trying to overcome it. I was only marginally successful in that effort so I got my volume through multiple sets with 90 sec rest today. All my first reps were kind of crappy and all my second reps were great for the first 3 sets so I slowed it down a little on the last set to get into a better rack position for my first rep, which I did, but then I forgot not to be a loosey goosey in my middle parts so both reps ended up being the worst ones I did today. (<--that is a run on sentence)
Chain Bench Press/Scales of Justice Pullups
6x45
3x55 + chains
2x3x105 + chains
3x{3x105 + chains/8xBW}
3x105 + chains
I had an ongoing debate with myself about supersetting pullups with chain bench and eventually ended up doing it. It would have been smarter if I hadn't, but it was better to do it that way than do zero back work today. Bench was with 2 sets of chains. I'll split these up next time if I am back on a more normal training schedule.
