It's time to listen to my body. I've been struggling fighting through fatigue & lower back tweaking lately, and today was no exception. Therefore, I had a light intensity day.
It seems as if three days of squatting and two days of basketball per week are taking their toll on my legs & lower back. I've been training like this for about 9 months (I started Texas Method about 2.5-3 months before this blog) and in a few weeks I am going try a new training philosophy, which I will detail then.
Next Saturday, I am moving. This move will require numerous trips up and down stairs carrying boxes, mattresses, air conditioners, and furniture. As such, I am going to refrain from doing any squats and deadlifts next week.
I will play basketball on Monday & Wednesday, train bench press and back on Tuesday, and possibly do a light workout on Thursday.
The following week, I will return to Texas Method training and continue it for about 3-4 weeks. After that, I will start the new program.
Here are the results from today's light intensity day:
