My cold is almost gone. I'm at that stage where I'm periodically coughing up really sticky phlegm.

Texas method volume day.

Foam Rolling

Low Bar Squat

  • 45 lb: 20
  • 140 lb: 10
  • 230 lb: 5
  • 320 lb: 3
  • 410 lb: 1
  • 460 lb: 1
    • Left nostril started bleeding. First time that has ever happened to me while lifting. Cool!
  • 397.5 lb: 3,3,3,3,3

High Bar Squat

  • 345 lb: 5,5,6
    • +2.5lbs from last week
    • Wanted more reps on the last set,but feeling exhausted. Probably because of my almost-gone cold.

Face Pulls

  • 70 lb: 12

Reverse Grip Bench Press

Paused until work sets.

Paused first rep on work sets.

I missed the last rep during the last set last week, but I'm going to increase the weight this week anyways.

Also, I obtained an anti-slip shelf and drawer liner to help prevent my back from slipping on the bench. Works pretty well so far!

  • 45 lb: 10
  • 140 lb: 5
  • 230 lb: 3
  • 320 lb: 1
  • 280 lb: 5,5,5,5,5
    • Benching felt strong today.

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.
