Press went well, rows I need to up the weight big time I think, probably jump to 175 for the next set, squats felt way harder than they should have but they were all good technique wise I think. Deadlifts went really well, even the fucking 280 triple felt hard though. But still crushed the last set so I'm glad to be making progress.
Workout took way too long, two hours for just the lifting before I did any conditioning. I need to figure out a way to cut that down big time and I also think I'm going to go back to the way I was programming my squats before my meet which was just linearly progressing a single top set of 5. Maybe do that on Mon and Fri and throw a lighter set of 2 in on Wed when I deadlift, I dunno, just need the volume and practice.
I was setting up a Texas Method template but man that fucking volume day is going to be a three hour marathon, I don't think I want to commit to that. What's the consensus on cycling the volume day for each lift, so you might do volume bench and intensity squat on Monday, intensity bench and volume squat on Friday sort of thing? Big no no?
