deadlifts

4inch block pulls with trap bar: Ok… I knew going in that I just wasn’t feeling it.Just wasnt up for pushing in the 90%plus range today mentally or physically . Came across a article Dave Tate wrote regarding Max effort and he mentioned “Multiple Exertion Method” which I ended up trying.

10 x 1 @ 490lbs/222.2 kgs … 2 minute rest between sets
Speed pulls: 10 x 1 @ 65%

Close stance Hatfield squats: 2 x 10 @ SW
GHR: 5 x 10 ( with band assistance) really rusty on these
Standing band crunches: 5 x 20

^^ DONT YOU DARE JUDGE ME !!!

Its doing good …No complaints. Odd racking a weight and nothing moves.

Interesting fact…my fathers nickname was Doggie . Got it back in the 50’s when he was in high school.

Banded Dynamic Bench: 12 x 3 @ 40% bar weight plus bands. Ok ,this is really the first time trying these ever! Worked up a little and ended up going back down and only using 40% of bar weight, I will say it was a adventure , I also get why they suggest only using bands on these for a short 4 week stents .

Seated OHP off pins: worked up to 2 working sets of 3 at 185lbs. These sucked!! Each rep was a dead stop on the pins set at chin height, Again , first time trying

Push ups: 3 x AMRAP
Band tricep extensions: allot

Ok , had plans with the wife and I spent too much time setting up the dynamic bench and cut it short. Plan on getting some back work and some other assistance stuff in the morning.

Banded reverse bench pulldowns: A ton
Seated DB shrugs: some
Alternate DB curls: Ran the rack up and down for one time

Youngest isn’t that into lifting. Oldest is in his Sr year and too busy finishing degree.

That reminds me… @clee78 , oldest son is now decided not to go into medicine. Apparently now he is talking about a Phd and becoming a professor.

Time will tell.
It’s been 34 years since I graduated Med School, 28 years in practice, after a 5 year residency and 1 year fellowship.
The burn out and lack of professional fulfillment is really a shame. Today’s graduates are bright, well educated and motivated. I don’t see the situation improving anytime soon. The amount of time required to be in front of the computer seems to me to be a big part of the problem.
Good luck.

Probably a smart decision.
Overall work satisfaction is extremely poor for today’s young physicians. They are a bright, motivated, well educated group,
Good luck to him.

Dynamic Lower tonight… oh boy was it bad. Everything felt tight and nothing wanted to move with any actual power.
