Intensity day: 2018.06.02

Squat:20kg*10/60kg*8/80kg*8/90kg*6/100kg*4/110kg*3/120kg*2/132.5kg*4
OHP: 20kg*10/35kg*5/40kg*3/45kg*2/50kg*2/55kg*2/60kg*2/65kg*3

So this is the end of my first 3 month run at the Texas method. So overall, in these three months, my 5RM progressed like this:

Squat: 122.5kg*5 ->135kg*5 +12.5kg (hit this on week 8, then had to deload)
Bench: 82.5kg*5 -> 95kg*5 +12.5kg
OHP: 55kg*5 -> 62.5kg*5 +7.5kg
Deadlift: 142.5kg*5 -> 165kg +22.5kg
Powerclean: not worth mentioning, since I did not really progress.
Bodyweight: from ~81-82kg to ~85-86kg.

Overall, I think I should have stopped after 8 weeks, since after that I started to feel tired and it really shows in the fails and eventual deload. Now I'm taking a week to rest and then continue with some hypertrophy/bodybuilding type training with lower intensity and higher volume, to switch things up a bit. After a few months of that, I think I'll go to TM again.
