Yesterday was my last ever day of PT school. The last two years+two months have gone by expectedly and absurdly quickly (while also feeling terribly long at times, mostly during finals.) I am incredibly excited to be starting my full-time year-long internship at the Brigham on September 3rd, but in the mean time I am enjoying my last summer as a student. While there's been a lot to get done for school this summer, my actual class schedule has been beyond lovely, allowing me to get up on my own each morning, usually between 6:30-7:30, have a relaxed hour checking email and drinking coffee before heading to the gym to train for as long as I want (usually 1.5-2 hours or so) and then back home for a shower, breakfast, etc before needing to be at school, usually around noon or 1pm. It has been amazing.
Starting in September I'll be at the hospital from at least 8-4:30, but probably earlier and later than that, especially in the beginning. This means training after work, which is always more challenging, and I'll have to get better about paring my training time down to more like 75 minutes (which is what it probably should be anyways, most experts agree after 75-90 minutes you're basically wasting your time in terms of strength/muscle gains as well as fat loss.)
Until then though, I am savoring these last couple weeks, and the luxury of having so much time to myself.

Training today:
Warmup: landmine press and band pull-aparts
Bench: 8 sets working up to 115#x3 on my own and 120#x6-7 with a seriously overly generous spot from a guy at the gym (one of the hazards of asking for a spot from a stranger is that the interpretation of what that means is wildly different from person to person. Ah well, still got some good work in.) 2xfail sets at 95#x8,9
Accessory: band chin-ups and triceps work
