one more thing: box squats we're not easy today not because of lack of strength or something, it wasn't heavy for me, it's just that my lower back is pretty fatigued...

sleeping is good
eating is good
i'll try to get a massage

but I hope it's not too much for my lower back. I'll see on thursday how if feels.

ok, another issue: what are you doing during these 3-4 weeks when you're just ramping the weights? I find it psychologically very hard to work in sub-max weights (manifestation of another "no pain no gain" behavior). all I can do meanwhile is concentrate on form, read articles about program design, get consoled by the fact that I'm going (after 2 years!) to break records like a lunatic, and download ebook from emule

but seriously, what do you guys like to do meanwhile? how do you handle this period of time?

(or is it just me always complicating things?)

ur complicating things

i would just take those 4 weeks to enjoy life without any mental pain.

when i did the texas method those 4 weeks were the easiest. u know why? coz there is NO mental pressure. u dont have to set records, u can eat like shit, u can do whatever u want. but after those 4-5 weeks u better have everything single thing down right coz from that moment forth it is balls to the wall my friend! i think on week 16 i must have been a nervous wreck to try and nail 295x4 oly squats. but it worked. just be patient and enjoy ur time off. do cardio. eat pizza. u know, that kind of thing ;)

Well you're sitting down with a bunch of weight on your shoulders. Even though you are controlling the decent and not plopping onto the box it is bound to take a toll on the lower back. It's not really something your back was meant to do. Like I said at the beginning I wouldn't do box the entire time. If I were you I'd switch up to reg squats after a while and start reaping some of the benefits of all that box squatting.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
