Today was my first day of work at Brigham and Women's Hospital, where I will be for 6 months before rotating to outpatient, and so also my first time training post-8.5-hours-of-work since my last clinic ended in May (and that was a pretty relaxed site where my workday was usually closer to 7 than 8 hours. The day at the Brigham is likely to be closer to 10 than 8 once things get going . . .) Biking from the hospital to the Y today I was extra glad that this was a deload week, as the process of starting a new job is always sort of overwhelming, and as a PT intern I spend most of my first few days following my clinical instructor around but not actually DOING much, which I find way more tiring than actually working.
Regardless, it was a good first day at my new clinic site (I love my CI and I like the busy and intense feeling of the Brigham), and once I got started it was also a good first-training-day-post-work. I wrapped up in just over an hour and felt good and tired. I think I'll have no problem getting to bed at 9:30, which is my new goal and I don't care if it makes me feel old, I want lights out by 10pm so I can get 8 hours of sleep. And the NY Times totally agrees with me and my nutrition coach that those 8 hours are essential to my goals. So there.
Training today:
Kettlebell warmup
6 sets of conventional deadlift working up to 177#x5.
Accessory: Anderson front squats.
Finisher: Single-leg bridges and jump rope.
I was thinking about you all day! So glad you had a good time and are excited about the next six months.
