Texas Method volume day.

Going to take out low bar squats and replace them with high bar squats this week. Low back aches.

L-Sit Chin Ups

  • Body weight (200 lb):10,10
    • Performed before and after foam rolling.

Foam Rolling

High Bar Squat

About 3.5 minutes in between sets.

  • 45 lb: 20
  • 140 lb: 10
  • 230 lb: 5
  • 320 lb: 3
  • 370 lb: 1
  • 410 lb: 1
  • 440 lb: 1
  • 410 lb: 3,3,3,3,3
    • Was supposed to be 407.5 lb, but I already had 410 on the bar, and I did 410x3x3 a couple of days ago, so decided to do 410 lb. Plus, 4 plates on each side looks cool (but not as nice as 5 plates on each side).
  • 357.5 lb: 5,5,5
    • +2.5 lb from last week.

Face Pulls

  • 70 lb: 13

Reverse Grip Bench Press

Paused until work sets. Paused first rep on work sets.

  • 140 lb: 5
  • 230 lb: 3
  • 320 lb: 1
  • 290 lb: 5,4*,5,5,5
    • +2.5 lb from last week (microloading with fractional plates).
    • *Missed on the 5th rep, 2nd set. Slipped on the bench! Had a towel on top of the anti-slip liner (towel used to absorb sweat). After I slipped, the bar was still in my hands. Tried to push it up, but couldn't. Gah. Took off the towel after that set.

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.
