Hitting failure on the Press, right after the Bench Press,  has convinced me to change from Starting Strength to Texas Method. I don't think that a simple reset, with continued linear progression, will do much good; also, 01.01.2011 is a good time to change programs.

I have made the following gains during this SS cycle:

Back Squat: 3 x 5 x 112,5 (+4 kg)
Bench Press: 3 x 5 x 58,5 kg (+0 kg, missing +1 kg by 1 rep)
Deadlift: 3 x 5 x 116,5 kg (+10 kg)
Press: no marked increase on 3x5
Power Clean: about +2 kg, with no hard number to start from

Considering the limited time, this is, imo, a success.

I'll do Texas Method now. I'll ost the plan on the weekend.

I pulled a muscle in my back last week (while sleeping - I guess I'm too old for that couch). It's no longer that painful, but I still was careful and went with 80% of the weight. I guess a slow day won't harm me. Felt much better afterwards.

For X-mas, I got Power to the People. While the insistent attempts at marketing are rather annoying, there is some good stuff in there (if you ignore the boasting, and the Call-xxxx-to-order-NOW!!! hysterics).
Anyway, this made me think about the program for next year, and I guess I'll include some of Pavel's ideas into the Texas Method. Mainly a focus on just two lifts, especially Deadlifts, and de-emphasizing of Squats, I think. Deadlifts and Squats really aren't that different an exercise, so concentrating on DL's should work all right.
