Thanks love_Deadlift for your input on the Texas method question on the forum. I was just overwhelmed by the spreadsheet. It's a routine I like the look of as well.

Peace.

Glad to help man, some of those intermediate programs can get pretty complex. It doesn't help that they're sometimes written in strange wording.

02/27:

Squats 295 lbs
5/5/5/5/5

Easy as pie (except on a couple of the later reps). Last week this was brutal, today it felt light. It's a good thing.

02/28:

Press 152 lbs
3/3/3

03/01:

Squats 306 lbs
5/5/5/2!

This started out great, the weight felt good, reps were coming easy, etc... Then on the 4th set, i think i lost my concentration on the 3rd rep. I got trapped in the hole, no big deal, i just dumped the weight on the safety rack. However, i hurt my knee a little bit in the process so i decided to call it a day on the squats rather than risk aggravating a slight injury into a serious injury.

Deadlift Form work: 218 lbs
5/5

Just a little practice on my form, which i think is improving.

You are just rebuilding your DL to work on form right? It went from up here (imagine hand gesture around nose level), to down here (another hand gesture around belly button).

Yeah, i posted a video of my form a couple weeks ago on the forum and felt that it was necessary to really just focus on form before progressing any further. So i deloaded and when i feel like i've fixed most of the errors i'll go back to lifting heavy.

Makes sense. What was the problem?

Butt too high, chest too low, bar too far from the shins, etc... I have a lot to work on.

If you want to see it, this is where i posted it.

Y'know, I've seen worse. What I saw with you was you start in a good position, but as soon as you start putting tension on, your butt rises, causing your chest to be too high, but you don't start that way. Concentrate on keeping the form you have in the beginning as you start to come up. For me, if I could start the bar moving in good form, the rest was easy.

I don't think you have as far as you think you do to go.

Thanks man, i'll keep that in mind. It's been improving somewhat since i noticed it.

Oh and to be clear, I meant when butt goes up chest is too LOW. I'm sure you knew what I meant, but I don't want anybody getting injured because I'm a retard.

Hey LD,

Went through your log halfway yesterday & halfway today.

Squats 306 lbs
5/5/5/2!

This started out great, the weight felt good, reps were coming easy, etc... Then on the 4th set, i think i lost my concentration on the 3rd rep. I got trapped in the hole, no big deal, i just dumped the weight on the safety rack.

Exactly the same thing happened to me @ 75 kg (165 lbs?) on the second set. Got stuck in the hole on the third rep. Luckily for me the safety bars were at the right height. Didn't hurt anything. Got the balance ones right.

Next workout I did 75 kg 5x5 & then realised I had forgot to set the safety bars. :shock:

Good luck with the DL form. You so love them, you'll get them right fast & get them up again faster.

Good thing you got stuck on the time you remembered to set the safety bars. and Thanks, i really can't wait to start pulling heavy again. :twisted:
