Don't worry Rori, you'll handle doing Texas just fine. Question is will Texas be able to handle you?
Nice easy recovery day today, with my first planned-in-advance bench work in a loooooong time. The gym itself was very somber. A personal trainer on staff who I knew a little bit died in a car/motorcycle accident Monday night. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, and the tone of the gym was understandably subdued. A lot of people came back from the service during my workout. I didn't know Rashid well outside of the gym, but he was always nice and pleasant and could actually give a good hand-off in the bench press. He was my go-to for hand-offs when he was around. You left us far too soon and will be missed.
Squat
45x5x2, 135x5, 195x5, 255x5, 315x5
Notes: Not quite as stiff as last week, but still somewhat stiff (that's what she said).
Chin-Ups
Weighted: +27.5 x5x3 then unweighted: 1 set of 10
Notes: None
Bench Press
45x5, 115x5, 175x5, 215x5, 255x5, 285x5, 315x3
Notes: 285 was pretty easy but didn't want to do another set of 5, so went to 315 figuring it would be a double. Turns out it was a fairly easy triple. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come in terms of regaining my bench and hitting 400 in a meet.
Afterwards: Chipotle. Obviously.
