Training Log: 3/14/14 (Environment)

Yesterday I trained at a new gym. It's a pretty cool place and there was a back room with all the necessary powerlifting equipment like a squat bar, deadlift bar, lots of chains etc. The atmosphere got me pretty hyped up at first, but then I talked to some of the people there and they weren't very friendly at all. Everyone just kind of kept to themselves and it didn't really feel like the gym community that I was used to. To top it all off, I had only gotten 6 hours of sleep the night before and all that was in my belly at the time was a bowl of cereal and a chicken breast. I'm still pretty ok with how the lift went, though.

Texas Method C1W4D3:
Squat:
2x5 Bar
1x5 135
1x3 225
1x2 275
1x5 330 (Rep PR)
3x1 345

Press:
2x6 Bar
1x4 95
1x2 135
1x2 165 (Rep PR)

Deadlift:
1x5 140
1x3 230
1x2 320
1x1 410

I decided to do conventional deads today instead of sumo, because the best bar available was a 50 lb one with no knurling where my sumo grip would fall. I did the extra singles on squat just to make sure I still had the mentality to hit them. I've got a meet coming up in 4 weeks, so next week will be my last run of the Texas Method for now, then I'll start peaking.


Stay Strong,

JB
