Texas Method Team Training. Week 2. Volume Day
BW - 225
Squat - 270X5X5
Bench - 175X5X5
Deadlift - 210X10X2
Squats were a little wonky getting started but were going strong by the end. However, I was getting some kind of forearm pain along/around my brachialis. Was really bothering me.
When I got to bench, the forearm pain made it difficult to keep an aggressive grip on the bar. First couple of sets were really hard as a result, but as we got further from squatting, the discomfort receded, and I was able to clamp down on the bar.
Speed deads were fine.

Texas Method Team Training. Week 1. Recovery Day
BW - 224
Squat - 225X5, 5
Pushups - BWX22, 22
Chins - BWX5, 5, 5, 3
Got challenged to a 22 pushups for 22 days thing for vets. Didn't see the need to do press recovery in that instance.

Texas Method Team Training. Week 1. Volume Day
BW - 222
Squat - 265X5X5
Press - 110X5X5
Deadlift - 205X10X2
First regular day back following vacation, and hopefully the first regular day of many to come with no meets or extended vacations on the horizon between now and March.
Squats started off a little rough as I was still pretty sore from Tuesday. Even though this was the same weight, it took me a couple of work sets for my body to get all the way warmed up. Last 3 sets were fast and confident.
First time pressing on volume day in months. Felt solid.
We jumped right back to the same weight we were using pre-meet on the speed deads. Felt great.

Texas Method Team Training. Week 1. Post-Vacation Day
BW - 224
Squat - 265X5, 5, 5
Bench - 162.5X5, 5, 5
Deadlift - 275X5
The rest of the team was doing Intensity Day, but since I hadn't lifted in a week and a half, we just did a simple 3X5 for Squat and Bench, and a 1X5 for Deadlift. Everything moved fast.

Texas Method Team Training. Post-Meet Week.
Thursday:
BW - 222
Squat - 255X5X5
Bench - 175X5X5
Deadlift - 185X10X2
Saturday:
BW - 221
Squat - 235X5, 5
Press - 105X5, 5, 5
Pull-downs - 5X10 (to a top-set)
Monday:
BW - 222
Squat - 275X3X3
Bench - 195X3X3
Deadlift - 315X5
This was always going to be an odd week, being post-meet and pre-Thanksgiving trip home. Did a standard reset Volume day on Thursday, and a standard recovery day on Saturday. I talked to my coach before yesterday's workout, and we agreed it would be wasteful to do a standard intensity day going into a 9 day break, so we did a modified volume day. The first volume day left me feeling pretty sore and beat up, so we went with 3X3 on Squat and Deadlift to try and get a bit of a training effect without dipping to far back into recovery.
