New phase

Lifting

New block started last week. 

Squats up to  385x5,   Bench up to 275 5 sets of 5, and Sumo deadlift 415 5 sets of 5 (first time sumo in ~7 months.    Pretty decent week.

Squats tomorrow are a max triple for a few sets... and then some reverse band singles of doom. benching and deadlifting are both set for triples too... 

I'm looking at a full powerlifting meet Sept 20th...



Diet
-Morning weight:  263

Had a bit of cheating when I went to Indianapolis this weekend. Had some good pizza, the best tacos I've ever tasted (La Chinta in Broad ripple had amazing carnitas and skirt steak tacos!)


Locked the diet back down yesterday though... Grilled some steaks for dinner, and am going to skewer and grill up 10 lbs of chicken and 10 lbs of beef on the 4th...



Medicine:

Officially not a general medicine resident anymore. Neurology rotations only from here on out.

I'm in clinic this month, so I work a solid 8-5ish. Unfortunately I am on call all night  this week, as well as the weekend... not looking forward to it, but I have the 4th off...

Board exam on the 12th, Studying... 'hard' for it. That's taking quite a bit of time away from neurology studying.  It also has brought to my attention to the fact that my neurological knowledge is extremely lacking. I guess that's what this next 3 years is for, right?

I had a meeting with my mentor recently, discussing my future goals, and career pathways. It's still unclear what I'm going to do, but likely it will take some customization to fit my needs/desires.
