Texas method intensity day.

Foam Rolling

High Bar Squat

Used straps until 460lbs.

Feeling a lot weaker on the squat these days. It's as if some of my squatting powers have transferred over to my overhead press, bench press and deadlift.

  • 45lbs: 20
  • 140lbs: 10
  • 230lbs: 5
  • 320lbs: 3
  • 410bs: 1
  • 460lbs: 1
  • 430lbs: 1
    • Missed on the 2nd rep.
  • 430lbs: 2

Reverse Grip Bench Press (Paused)

Found out that the latest rule changes to 100% RAW doesn't allow reverse grip bench press.

That's gripcist!

  • 45lbs: 10
  • 140lbs: 5
  • 230lbs: 3
  • 300lbs: 1
  • 350lbs: MISSED
    • Felt like (and looked like) I was about to get it, but as a pushed my with my legs, my upper body slid backwards on the towel I put on my bench. DAMMIT.
  • 350lbs: MISSED
    • Tried again. Nope.
  • 305lbs: 3,3,3
    • Same weight as last week (did not complete 3x3 as I planned)

Deadlift

Hook grip.

  • 140lbs: 5
  • 230lbs: 5
  • 320lbs: 3
  • 410lbs: 1
  • 460lbs: 1
  • 530lbs: MISSED
  • 530lbs: 1 *PR
  • 550lbs: 1 *PR
    • Strapped deadlift PR
  • 475lbs: 3
    • Straps.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
