Texas method recovery day.

Foam Rolling

L-Sit V-Grip Chin Ups

  • 10

Paused Low Bar Back Squat (Wide)

  • 45lbs: 10
  • 140lbs: 5
  • 230lbs: 5
  • 320lbs: 3
  • 410lbs: 1
  • 375lbs: 3

Overhead Press

Experimenting with a narrower grip. Usually I have my pinkies near the marks on the bar. Today I placed my hands a little wider than shoulder width apart.

  • 45lbs: 10
  • 75lbs: 8
  • 100lbs:5
  • 140lbs:3
  • 190lbs: 2
  • 225lbs: 2
  • 205lbs: 3,5
    • 1st set: started off as a military press (heels together). Lost balance after the first rep, readjusted my stance and did OHP.
    • Pretty sure 205lbs x 5 is a 5RM. Shaking during the last few reps, but still pushed it out!
