I ate this yesterday at Ye's Sushi All-You-Can-Eat restaurant:

Pretty much had a food coma for most of yesterday, and it's fueling today's workout.

Texas Method volume day.

Foam Rolling

Low Bar Squat

About 3.5 minutes in between sets for warm ups.

  • 45 lb: 20
  • 140 lb: 10
  • 230 lb: 5
  • 320 lb: 3
  • 410 lb: 1
  • 460 lb: 1
  • 402.5 lb: 3,3,3,3,3
    • About 3.5 minutes in between sets.
    • +2.5 lb from last week.

High Bar Squat

  • 352.5 lb: 5,5,5,5,5
    • +2.5 lb from last week (microloading with fractional plates).
    • About 3.5 minutes in between sets.

Low Bar Squat

Last week I did these after low bar squatting for 5 sets of 3 reps. Really fried my lower back. Experimenting with adding these after high bar squats.

Definitely felt better, but it might be hard to maintain solid form as the weight gets heavier in the future. We'll see.

  • 352.5 lb: 5,5
    • +2.5 lb from last week.

Face Pulls

  • 70 lb: 12

Reverse Grip Bench Press

Paused until work sets.

Paused first rep on work sets.

  • 45 lb: 10
  • 140 lb: 5
  • 230 lb: 3
  • 320 lb: 1
  • 285 lb: 5,5,5,4,6
    • Same weight as last week, but did 5 sets instead of 3.
    • Just missed the last rep on the 4th set. Removed collars and plates and reverse bench pressed 225 lb from the pins.
    • I did 6 reps on the last set because I was pissed that I missed 1 rep earlier. Had to make up the difference.

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.
