Texas method volume day.
Foam Rolling
- 10 minutes on the black Rumble Roller and lacrosse ball.
L-Sit Chin Ups
Hook grip. Gotta increase my pain tolerance.

Face Pulls

Reverse Grip Bench Press
Changed my shirt because my previous one was pretty sweat from squatting. Also, the shirt that I'm wearing has some printed writing and a logo on the back, so it'll probably stick to the bench a little better and prevent me from sliding.
- 45 lb: 10
- 140 lb: 5
- 230 lb: 3
- 300 lb: 1
- 350 lb: 1
- Nice and smooth. ~350 lb (actually, 160 Kg or 352 lb) could be my opener for the bench press for an upcoming powerlifting meet. Might lower it, to be conservative and make sure I don't miss a rep in an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar equipment.
- 315 lb: 5,5,4
- +2.5 lb from last week.
- Gah missed on last rep, last set. GRrrr...
- Grip felt a little off on the third set when I unracked the bar.
