Texas Volume 8/17/10

- Squat 5x45, 5x135, 5x225, 5x275, 5x285, 5x290, 5x295, 5x300
- Bench 5x45, 3x135, 5x180, 5x180, 5x180, 5x180, 5x185
- Chinup 9xBW, 9xBW, 7xBW, 5xBW, 1xBW

Squat was about as good as it gets with this 'form-check' week. Probably slipped a little, especially on that last rep.

Bench felt good, though I notice that I'm no longer touching my chest on every rep like I used to. I still bring it down almost all the way, but I start pushing up when the bar is around an inch from the chest. I guess I'll go back to all the way once school starts or something.

Chinups weren't perfect until the last two vanity sets. Having done 25 reps across 3 sets, I looked for perfect dead-hang, which just feels completely different. Plus exhaustion. Well whatever.

Spent a long time in the gym today. Different schedule, different kicks. Just took extra long rests; I quite obviously didn't increase the volume by too much. I'm all right with that, though.
