The funny thing is, I’d always try to get Carlo to do extra workouts with me. I’d say, “Carlo, come back to the gym with me and do some bent rows and skull crushers.” he’d laugh and always say, “Nah, man.” Then he’d go home and grow some more.

Saturday Conditioning

Dynamic stretches
Stride troughs 40m x 2
Sprints: 20m x 3
Sprints: 40m x 5
"Up and Backs" x 1. 5 markers spaced 10m apart in a line. Start at the the first marker on your belly. Get up and sprint to the third marker, go around it and sprint back to the second marker, get on your belly, get straight back up and start the process over. So effectively it's up two and back one. Work your way through all the markers and you finish when you get back to the first marker. That's one rep.

I only did one today because I've got to start slow. Next week I'll do two reps and add a 6th rep in the 40m sprint.

I just read a great article over on startingstrength.com. Here it is.

Back To Big

Press: 71 x 5

Squat: 190 x 3.

Dead lift: 175 x 3.

Great day in the gym. Very rewarding. There's not a much better feeling when you do something when your not sure if you can.

I was thinking about trying to lean out and loose a bit of weight but I think that would be something best to do when I'm done with this cycle of the Texas Method. Considering I still want to drive my strength and lean body mass up, it would be a bit counter productive to try and go on lean gains. With that said, I'm gonna stay enthusiastic about my two conditioning session per week.
