Texas Method Team Training. Week 1. Volume Day

BW - 225

Squats -
255X5, 5
285X5
255X5, 5

Bench - 175X5X5

Deads - 180X10X2

We forgot to swamp a teammates weight out for mine on the 3rd set of squats.  The whole set I was like, "Fuck, I guess I need to take longer rests."

Bench went really well after that same teammate pointed out that I was losing tightness between reps and kind of inching up the bench when I took a breath at the top.  Next sets, I got even tighter and really focused on kind of "getting my neck on the bench."  A lot of other issues I'd been cueing hard seemed to clear up with this one.

Speed Deads: working on starting on my heels, squeezing the chest up hard just before the start, and pushing through my heels at the start.
