Between nursing school and work, 5 days a week of gym is starting to really push it. I could somewhat handle it last semester but we're starting to push into deeper pathophysiology and more invasive skills so I've got to spend more time ironing all that out.
Took it easy this week with some...
Bench: 230lb x 3, 210lb x 5, 200lb x 5
Landmine press (on knees): Bar + 80lb x 10
DB Chest Flies: 40lb DBs x 15, 15
Cable Lateral Raises: 27.5lb x 10, 10, 10
Weighted Pullups: BW + 62.5lb x 3, 3, 3, 2, BW + 47.5 x 6
Machine Rows: 180lb x 10, 10
Wide-Grip Cable Rows: 214lb x 15, 15, 15 (PR)
Cable Curls: 52.5lb (per arm) x 10, 10, 10, 10 (PR)

Welp, completed the stack on cable rows. There are a couple of, I think, 5lb weights that you...
Start of a great bench day. RPE 8.5 230 triples. Set 3. Ask for spot. Disaster. He unracks weight and pushes it way forward of center. Pulls me out of position and saps all my power. Failed rep 2
On the bright side, 230lb feels like a 5rm now.
Weighted Pullups: 62.5lb x 3, 2.5, 2, 2, 45lb x 5
Machine Rows: 180lb x 10, 10
Wide-Grip Cable Rows: 92.5lb x 15, 15, 15 (PR)
Cable Curls: 52.5lb x 10, 10, 8

7.5lb away from maxing out the stack for wide-grip cable rows. Gonna have to find a new exercise once I'm there. Pull-ups...
I'm switching over to 6:15am shifts on weekends because it fits my schedule better. Most of my classes, which start up again in the week, begin around 7am, though my clinical rotation shifts ends a bit past midnight. No rest for the weary I suppose :confused:. I've had too many 15 hour days...
Didn't get to log last push session. Lack of left ankle ROM from 5,000 sprains is killing my leg drive when things get heavy. Have a couple ideas to toy with for next session that may allow me to lock in a better base. Tried 'em out last session after heavy bench and some flies and things...
Yesterday:
Weighted Pullups: BW + 57.5lb x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, BW + 37.5 x 6, 6, 6, BW x 10

Wide Grip Cable Rows: 87.5lb x 15, 15

Then a bunch of basketball.
Today:
3 hours of basketball, some PNF of the hamstrings by my buddy whose a...
BW was surprisingly low today...182lb.
Yesterday:
Worked up to a double at 365lb and then a bunch of reps of 315lb sumo DL. Greasing the grooves here. Then some SDLs with my shitty ROM and smith machine split squat
Today:
Had to rush through this as I had to get to work.
Bench: 230lb x 2...
Didn't get a chance to record the last session (in which I had to combine push and legs). Let's just say it didn't go very well. If you're going to have a gym partner, have an adequate one. I went to the gym last session with a friend and let's just say he's a terrible, terrible spot and he...
