Texas method volume day.

Foam Rolling

• 10 minutes on the black Rumble Roller and lacrosse ball.

L-Sit Chin Ups

Hook grip. Gotta increase my pain tolerance.

• Body weight (~200 lb): 6

Low Bar Squat

Paused until work sets.

• 45 lb: 20
• 140 lb: 10
• 230 lb: 5
• 320 lb: 3
• 410 lb: 1
• 440 lb: 1
• 400 lb: 3,3,3
  • +5 lb from last week.

High Bar Squat

• 400 lb: 3,3,3
  • +5 lb from last week.
• 360 lb: 5,5,5
  • +2.5 lb from last week.
  • Might have done an extra set...but I'm not 100% sure...dammit. I did another set to make sure I got the 3x5 I wanted.

Face Pulls

• 70 lb: 10
• 80 lb: 10

Reverse Grip Bench Press

Changed my shirt because my previous one was pretty sweat from squatting. Also, the shirt that I'm wearing has some printed writing and a logo on the back, so it'll probably stick to the bench a little better and prevent me from sliding.

• 45 lb: 10
• 140 lb: 5
• 230 lb: 3
• 300 lb: 1
• 350 lb: 1
  • Nice and smooth. ~350 lb (actually, 160 Kg or 352 lb) could be my opener for the bench press for an upcoming powerlifting meet. Might lower it, to be conservative and make sure I don't miss a rep in an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar equipment.
• 315 lb: 5,5,4
  • +2.5 lb from last week.
  • Gah missed on last rep, last set. GRrrr...
  • Grip felt a little off on the third set when I unracked the bar.
