Terrible Tuesday Texas Method FAILURES and Adjustments

Had to go all out of order b/c some dude was all up in my cage! That could have been contributing factor to squat failures -- now I see why you do the big ones first!

Weighted pull ups: 3 x 5 x 20

Weighted dips: 3 x 5 x 20

Barbell Rows: 5 x 5 x 145 FAIL (came close to failure on 4th set and def failed on 5th)

Squats: 5 x 5 x 215 FAIL (did one set after warming up to it and it felt way too heavy so just called it a day on the squats... I didn't have it in me)

Push Press: 5 x 5 x 110

Elliptical Intervals: 2 min fast, 1 min slow for 10 min (with last min at slower pace). "Fast" was around 11.5-12 mph or a little over, which was tough to maintain with the hills/resistance, and "slow"was around 6 (5.5-6.5)...

Weigh in: 178 (ick)

Here's how we're gonna fix Texas Method this week and get back on track:

Week 3

Tuesday:
Squat fail (skip program for rest of week); Row fail (repeat weight), Push Press on track

Wednesday: Bench Press recovery on track

Thursday: Barbell Row repeat weight "recovery"

Friday: MEBB Squat for 1x1 max 275 (on track w/TM); Push Press on track; Deadlift on track
