Week 3 Light Night

10 September 2014
Week 3 Texas Method
Light Night 

I usually don't do two nights in a row but since it was light night I figured what the hell. I got home from work gave the chimney a clean ( it only takes a few minutes to run the brush up the flue) and headed to the gym. I got some stretching while I waited for a guy to finish a couple of sets in the power rack and then got to it.



Front squats- these felt really good tonight. I have pretty good bar control and the bar is sitting high up enough that the deltoids aren't suffering too much. The knees sleeves might have given just a little help but not much. the joint was nice and warm though.


Bench Press - this is the plan. I am benching 3 times a week in TM fashion (Volume, Light, Intensity) and enjoying it immensely. I have my form pretty well dialled in and the joints are feeling good. Since I fixed my form the shoulder has been nice and settled. As long as I keep the shoulders tucked making the chest bigger I will keep doing fine.


OHP - Since I am benching light I don't have a problem with OHP on the same night. My press is still feeling pretty strong and here to I am happy with the form. Getting those shoulders strong..


Rows- what can I say.. freaking awesome time with these. I made a mistake with the weight, it was meant to be 82.5kgs and I loaded 85. I already had a set in so I just left it.


Back Hyperextensions - Looking at more back assistance work I have added these in. My gym doesn't have a back extension machine or anything so the preacher curl gets turned into one. I am thinking that I should do these at least twice per week and possibly 3 times per week and add some weight to them. Reg Park did these every workout 3 sets of 12 as a starter..
