Weight is now 170, I really am not eating enough -.-
10/20/09 Light
Squat: 3x3@225
Press: 3x4@157 (slow, couldn't get 5th rep)
Pull up: 3x10@bw
Ab roller: 4x11 from knees
10/22/09 ME
Squat: 1@315, belted for rest of sets; 1@355; 1@385; 1@405 (SLOW, at parallel, PR+30)
Squat max singles day, to see how well this cycle of Texas Method is going. 355 felt ok, with a slight pause/good morning coming up. 385 felt surprisingly heavy on my back, I went too deep into the hole, and wobbled a bit coming up. Rene and Robert said I almost fell backwards, apparently my toes came up. I didn't go so deep on 405, but the bar paused for a sec out of the hole, and I had to get mad at it to stand up. My previous squat pr was 375, on 8/8, so I think I'll keep doing 5x5 squats for a while, since it helped me get to 4 plates ^_^ A real leather belt may also help.

Nice job, Gordon. This makes me wonder how much all of the complicated stuff (volume/intensity, RPE, bands/chains/etc.) helps.
ReplyDeleteNow, back to work on your bench and (especially) deadlift! =) Let me know if you're still up for a volume day on Saturday.
