Today was the first time I left the hospital at the end of the work day NOT feeling completely 100% wiped out. I promptly remedied that at the gym.
It was overhead press day, which I am still doing as a split jerk, and today I hit 99# for 8 reps in a row, which felt good and took pretty much everything I had (and is a 2-rep improvement over my last x5 week at this weight.) I dragged for most of the rest of my time at the gym, but I got in all my work, including HIIT training on the treadmill for 15 minutes (20+ seconds of all out, uphill sprinting - at incline 8 and 8.5-9mph - with 1 minute or more recovery in between sprints.) The addition of the HIIT training is at the recommendation of my nutrition coach to help me shed some pounds before the comp. It definitely takes everything I have left, so I am guessing it's going to be pretty effective.
Training today:
Warmup: Is, Ts, Ys
Split Jerk: 6 sets working up to 99#x8, super-setted with inverted single leg rows
Accessory: speed bench and one-arm lunge rows; dumbbell floor press and rear lateral flys
HIIT intervals on the treadmill
