Texas Method Light night 2 July 2014

Light night on Texas Method. 

I'm feeling really good right now working out. I'm making good gains on all of my lifts and I should be making a good show of it in 5 weeks at the NZ National Championships.

Volume day has been going great and light night fits right in there. After tonight I am ready for intensity night on Friday.

This workout looked like this-

Squats - no problem with the weight and I got some really good stretching in.

OHP- I decided to go for a max tonight. My previous 1RM was 75kgs. After my 3sets of 5 I did a double at 70kgs and then 80kgs x1. I tried a second rep but I think with the volume before the arms were a little tired.. I went for a rep at 85 but I was only resting about 90 seconds between sets. A little longer rest might have helped out. I am still happy with a new PR.

Rows - went ok but I think the fatigue from max effort on the press took a little toll. I was hoping to increase reps on the 100kgs set but only managed to match last weeks set.

Still happy overall with my progress all around.
