Took Monday off cause i knew i was going to have along period without sleep because i work graveyard 8:30pm-4:00am then had to be to class about an hour and a half away by 9am-3pm then back to work by 8:30 so wasnt be fun but anyway after a long couple days i decided to deadlift early wednesday morning around 3am was really tired so i cut the workout a little short but still felt like i got in a quality workout.

-Deadlift (conventional, beltless, deficit, hook grip no chalk)
bar x20x2
135x12x2
225x5
315x3
405x3
460(80%)x4x5

Cut the final work sets short by 3 sets wasnt really getting to hard but could not remain focused or feel like i had the energy to push myself so i just called it. Sometimes you have to just play it smart.

After a short sleepless deadlift session i got home around 4:30am ate a ton of food and passed out probably around 7am-5pm. When i woke up i felt like a new man!! the 3 days prior i am sure i was just the biggest asshole so sorry for nyone who had to deal with that... But so Wednesday night head to the gym excited to do chest with my boy Andy and this workout turned out to be great! was mostly hypertrophy focused but still got some PR's and was nice to have my back not to sore despite the deadlifts less then 24 hours before.

-Bench press (semi close grip)
barx100
135x40
185x40!!! (goal was 30)
225x20
275x11 (PR old was 8)
315x6 (PR old was 4)

-Decline Hammer Strength
2 plates each side x 20
3 plates x15x2
3 and a quarter x8

-Flat Hammer Strength
2 plate x20
3 plate x8 (died)

-Cable flys
75x20x2
100x20x5

-Lateral raises

Feel really happy with this workout! i think i might try 405 bench on the 20th just incase the world ends i can say i bench 400lbs will be a 30lb PR if i do make it but not 100% sure i will just gunna give it a shot so i'll record that session. if you have any requests for footage let me know..

I use to wake up at 3am to workout and be ready for work. It is grueling trying to get it all in when you have a weird schedule.

Keep it up man, you're doing well.
