Some serious intensity

- Squat: 140/308 x 5/5/10 (rep PR)
- Seated Press: 62.5/138 x 5/5/9
- Weighted Pull Up: 21/46 x 5/5/5 + BW x 10
- EZ Tricep Extension: 30/66 x 12/12/12
- Dip: BW x 10/10/10

Words can’t really describe the kind of intensity Mitch and I generated today (mostly Mitch though: check out his log for his 4 plate squat and 8 rep 160kg deadlift set).

I have been doing the ibuprofen protocol for the last 4 days and my knee felt almost brand new, so I knew I would be squatting today. I hadn’t squatted for nearly two weeks and I was a little unsure of where to start. But after Mitch’s unbelievably impressive show I put three plates on the bar and hit ten reps for a rep PR after a two week layoff and some serious DOMS from Wednesday’s deadlift session. Not too shabby.

My knee feels fucking great at the moment, so I will be starting Texas Method for everything next week. I have some kind of strain in my right tricep though, so hopefully it doesn’t get any worse as I was able to work through it today.
