Strength And Fitness Training

Today was the first recovery day in my new training programme built around the Texas Method. I was surprised to find I was still sore following Monday’s volume day, after all whilst I’d done two more sets of five I’d also dropped the weight used.

Squat: 100kg 2×5

Overhead Press: 56.25kg 3×5 – made up some of my own fractional plates to hit this weight as 2.5kg jumps are too big.

Good Mornings: Small Barbell 5×10

Pull-ups 3xFailure

At the end of it all however I’m feeling more recovered than when I started. There’s nothing like a good set of squats to get rid of the sore legs!
