TM cycle 2 volume day

Squat 335lbs 5x5
Bench 215lbs 5x5

Felt pretty easy.  Here's a handy dandy chart for gauging texas method programming:

Solutions to Observed Trends
Volume	Intensity	Diagnosis	Typical solution
Easy	Easy	Low-balling	Progress both days quickly
Easy	Medium	Low volume	VD will eventually need to increase for ID increase
Easy	Hard	Volume Wrong	Not enough V dose to push ID
Easy	Very Hard	Volume Wrong	Not enough V dose to push ID
Medium	Easy	Low Intensity	ID is low-balled
Medium	Medium	Decent	Continue ID progress as normal
Medium	Hard	Standard	Normal progression
Medium	Very Hard	Standard	Normal progression, V will increase to drive ID
Hard	Easy	VD high, ID low	Decrease VD, progress ID
Hard	Medium	VD high, ID low	Hold VD constant or reduce, progress ID
Hard	Hard	Standard	Normal progression, increase V/I discrepancy
Hard	Very Hard	Veteran	Nearing end of current progression
Very Hard	Easy	High volume	Reduce VD significantly, progress ID
Very Hard	Medium	High volume	Hold VD constant or reduce, progress ID
Very Hard	Hard	Volume Wrong	Hold VD constant or reduce, progress ID
Very Hard	Very Hard	Veteran	Close to end of progression, good luck. Try less V

I'm definitely in the "easy, easy" situation right now.  Intensity day this week will be 370x5 and 240x5.

I'm also going on vacation for 2 wks starting this friday, which kinda puts a dent in training.  Maybe they have gyms in southeast asia...
