Texas method volume day.

5 sets of 3 reps for low bar squat, followed by 3 sets of 5 for high bar squat is 30 total reps.

Sure feels a lot less grueling than 10 sets of 3, or even 5x5.

Foam Rolling

Low Bar Squat

  • 45lbs: 20
  • 140lbs: 10
  • 230lbs: 5
  • 320lbs: 3
  • 410lbs: 1
  • 387.5lbs: 3,3,3,3,3
    • About 3.5 minutes in between sets

High Bar Squat

  • 330lbs: 5,5,5

Face Pulls

Reverse Grip Bench Press

No longer calling it "paused" because I can't pause all reps and complete all sets.

  • 45lbs: 10
  • 140lbs: 5
  • 230lbs: 3
  • 320lbs: 1
  • 270lbs: 5,5,5,5,5
    • +2.5lbs from last week

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.
