Week 10: Volume Day

Only did one day of Texas Method this week, as other things came up that prevented me from lifting weights.

Deadlifts

Warm Up: 135/13, 225/7
Work Set: 340/5

Squats

Warm Up:  45/10, 135/5, 225/3
Work Sets: 290/5,5; 275/5,5; 290/5
I dropped down to 275 because I felt that my form was off on the second set of 290. After I discovered that it wasn't, I went back to 290 for the final set. I will stay at this weight next week, as I barely made it through the last rep on the last set.

Press

Warm Up: 45/15, 115/6
Work Sets: 160/5,5,5,5,5
I barely did 5 reps on the last set. There is no way I will be able to do 165/5X5 next time, so I have no choice but to stick with 160 until it gets easier.  This may be a good time to purchase some 1 pound and less weights to carry with me when I lift.
