Workout Notes: Squats are getting brutal.

I attempted the full blown Texas Method as well and ended up getting buried after 6 months of grinding through it. I skipped out on running HLM (Heavy, Light, Medium) because I wasn't aware of it at the time and went straight into the 4-Day Upper/Lower split version of Texas Method. I'm of fan of that podcast, I just got…

Very cool. I’ve been on a 4-day Texas Method template for a while now. Looking strong for 5 months. Keep doing what you’re doing.

I think you got pretty much everything you need. Maybe another set of 25 lb plates?

I think you’re on to something.

They weren’t my threads. Just normal reply’s to query’s from community members.

Strong power clean for just learning the lift. What kind of programming are you running?

I weigh in every day. I think it’s fun.

I do barbell yoga. It strengthens body and mind. I meditate on the feel of the weight in my legs and back.

Nothing amazing to see here other than the wonders of biology. People just need to understand that this can be done at any age and increases in strength for all individuals reaps huge benefits.

Starting Strength works for all ages. Strength is the foundation of all athletic activities and should be pursued by any novice/beginner.

F - Deadlift Wednesday, October 25, 2017 at 11:36 AM Deadlift Set 1: 390 lb × 2 Set 2: 395 lb × 2 Set 3: 395 lb × 2 Notes: Miss loaded the first set. Bent Over Row Set 1: 212.5 lb × 10 Set 2: 212.5 lb × 10 Set 3: 212.5 lb × 10 Power Sled Set 1: 45 lb × 4 Notes: 100-150 yards. 4 sets. Too much weight, was too brutal.

“Strength is never a weakness.”

I’d work on your grip instead of straps for deadlifts. You could try holding the last rep of the last set for ~20 seconds. For rows I would strap because you don’t want to limit the weight used in the row due to grip.

This looks really long! How much time does this take for you to finish?
