Wasted sooo much time waiting for my friends getting lectured by dis stupid “trainer” telling us how to perform exercises. Fucken seeing me squat 280 for reps then tell me Im going too low and the weight is too heavy. wttttffffff, isn’t that a contradicition? Too low and too heavy?
Been a year officially since I’ve started seriously training.
Recovery Squat:
Incline Bench Press: 45x10, 65x6, 85x5, 115x3, 135x1, 155x4, 135x8.5
A 2 rep PR. Failed at the 5th rep but felt like I could’ve gotten it. Everytime I incline more than 3 reps, the bar start to hit my neck instead of the appropriate possition. So the 5th rep fell on my neck and I lost tightness, same with the 9th rep for 135.
Squat: 175x3x5
Easy. Thought tight hamstring.
Dumbbell Bench: 80x6, 130x3x5
Gahh, cant get 6 repss.
Pullups: ~BWx20
Roughly that number.
My flat bench max should be 205. Weighted in at 157.6 today, gainnz fat.
Intense Fucking Squat:
Squat: 135x5, 155x5, 185x5, 205x3, 225x1, 245x1, 290x1
I only add 5lb to my volume day squat training and this happens. WTFFF, fucking 245 felt heavy. lskfdjoasiudof
OHP: 45x5, 65x5, 115x3, 95x8
SHIITTTY. Tricep sore, could have gotten 95 for more but back was killing (my back bends :S)
Deadlift: 225x3, 275x1, 295x1, 315x1, 335x1
DISGUSTING FORM for 335.
Pullups: BWx17, x8
17 pullups in a row immediately after heavy deadlifting. not bad.
I hope I get those depressions that make me eat non-stop. Texas Method is like playing with fire, you dnt know when its going to grill you hard.
You probably don’t want to hear this right now, but see what happens when you really prioritize eating and sleeping. Bad days should be really rare and when they’re not, something’s going wrong.
Your squat might be failing because you aren’t doing enough volume for legs. I’d add in a few mor quad exercises and take it from there. If you like deadlifting on leg day that is cool, but I prefer not too. Those too lifts are very taxing on the nervous system. Since I lift for strength I like to be strong on both and can’t be at my best if I hit them both on the same day.
I feel like you are not doing enough volume to grow. Hope next week goes better buddy.

This^. Another good idea is to get more volume at 90% of training weight. so on the set of 290 you could go do some more sets at 260-265. (Whiteflash’s advice). this has helped me a lot.just my .02
Maybe you go into squat day with the mindset of “I AM GOING TO FUCK THIS UP AND I WILL NEVER BE AS STRONG AS MY BROSEPH XArena” and then you fail cause your brain told you you suck.
I dunno…
Before a big important squat day double your calories, eat a sHITTTOn of everything and PLAN TO WIN. Keep telling yourself it’s gonna be aWESOME.
THen if it still sucks tinker around with percentages again. You’re young and still kinda new to this, I doubt TOOO much volume is really the issue here. And bodies should be able to adjust to that shit anyway.
@austin & george: I thought that would work too and I did that before, kind of, but if this percentage is hurting me I don’t think a higher one would do me just.
@hastalles: the programming is whats wrong, I seriousy think Im eating enuf.
@spock: I did, with the mindset of a badass. My body doesn’t seem to adapt to this high volume thing bleh.
@XArena: remember that week you came back from Cuba and you tweaked your volume day to 245x3x5 and you only did 295x1 on the following intensity day? happens to you too man.

Yeah and then ilowered the weight…And I was able to gain 10lbs some sessions unlike you[/quote]
um i do gain 10lbs per session. 270x5 three weeks ago, and 280x4 two weeks ago and before that I always progressed by 10lbs…
Meanwhile worked out with an empty stomach.
Volume Squat:
Squat: 135x5, 155x5, 185x3, 230x3x5
Felt hard but probably becuase I was hungry and all. Please, god, allah or whatever, please make sure I got this one right.
Kroc Row: 50x10, 90x1, 100x9, x6
The rest between the two working sets for the 100s was only bout 1 minute or 2. First set I dropped it on the ground everytime. Second set I just did 6 touch ground and go, could have got more but my grip failed at 6.
Pendlay Row: 135x5, 155x5
I honestly want to do this but it just feel sooo weird.
Bench Press: 115x2x5, 115x18
Last two sets close grip. Had probably 22 reps in for 115. First and last two reps were paused for like 3 seconds. I hope it doesn’t hurt my recovery.
Did some pullups and like 50 reps with just the bar on incline bench. Feel pretty good. Can’t wait for bench on sunday.
You retard. 270x5 to 280x4 does not mean you added 10 lbs to your squat, you lost reps as well. 270x5= E1RM of 315, 280x5= E1RM of 317… You really added 2lbs to your max, not 10lbs… C’mon man, do the math!!!
You can’t completely rely on math for something so delicate as the human body. Besides one extra rep can easily happen on a perfect day as compared to a shitty day. You can pull that shit about math on me cuz the state of our body fluctuates and calculations shouldn’t be biased based on one day’s performance. Also, you gained 10lbs on like 2 sessions, like relax man.
thats 20lbs total on my squat in 2 weeks, so I don’t need to chill
and yes you’re right, things fluctuate… but, have you hit anything more or equal to 280x4 since then? if not, you can say that 280x4 was you at your best. I’m just tryna fuck with you little man
