4/22/09
Texas Method (Recovery Day)

Overhead Press: 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, with 130 lbs

Can't complain. I gained a rep on my 3rd set.

Barbell Row: 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, with 190 lbs

I know I was supposed to go 4 X 3 on this but since I had such a crappy Volume Day I decided to go 5 X 5 to make up for such an unsatisfactory workout.

Front Squats: 4 X 3 with 190 lbs PR!!!

Front Squats are getting heavy.

Overall: Good workout. I am going to eat more and sleep more so that I can do BJJ and Texas Method without too much issues.

Congratulations on that PR mate. I definitely agree that if you train like an animal you need to eat and sleep like one too.

Bench Press: 5, 5, 5, 5, 4 with 215 lbs

Barbell Row: 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, with 190 lbs

Overall: Tough workout
