Texas Method volume day.

High Bar Squat

Felt pretty strong on the squat today. No back pain.

  • 45lbs: 20
  • 140lbs: 10
  • 190lbs: 5
  • 230lbs: 5
  • 280lbs: 3
  • 340lbs: 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3
    • About 2.5 minutes in between sets
  • 320lbs: 6

Face Pulls

  • 60lbs 10
  • 70lbs: 10

Bench Press

Last time I did bench presses for sets of 5 reps was at 267.5lbs (7 sets).

Thought 270lbs for 5x5 would have been manageable.

  • 140lbs: 5
  • 190lbs: 3
  • 230lbs: 3
  • 270lbs: 5,5,5,5,3
    • Failed on the last set, 4th rep attempt. Knew I should have went lighter!

Texas Method intensity day.

High Bar Squat

  • 140lbs: 10
  • 230lbs: 5
  • 280lbs: 3
  • 320lbs: 2
  • 370lbs: 2
  • 410lbs: 3
    • Was planning on doing 2 reps, but felt I had more power so I did another rep.
  • 415lbs: 2
    • Last rep felt quite slow.

Overhead Press

I thought after doing Smolov Jr for bench press for the past few weeks and neglecting any sort of heavy overhead pressing that I would be weaker on this lift.

Today I proved myself wrong.

  • 75lbs: 5
  • 100lbs:5
  • 140lbs: 3
  • 165lbs: 2
  • 190lbs: 1
  • 210lbs: 2,3
  • 220lbs: 1
  • 230lbs: 1
    • Just realized this is my 1 rep max weight! But without the 2 push presses at the end.

Barbell Hip Thrust

  • 140lbs: 12
  • 230lbs: 10
