    Hi Andy.
    I've done LP thoroughly, squat 180kg x 5, press 85kg x 5, bench 130kg x 5, deadlift 210kg x 5, BW: 106kg, and now I'm moving to intermediate. Since after novice phase I want to include conditioning, I made a compromise of Texas method/Conditioning, and I would like to have your opinion.

    DAY 1
    squat 5x5 / 1x5 (alternate weekly)
    bench press/press 5x5 at 90% of 1x5
    power clean 5x3

    CONDITIONING - DAY 2
    sprinting - 100m/200m

    REST - DAY 3

    RECOVERY - DAY 4
    squat 2x5 at 70% of 1x5
    bench press/press 3x5 at 80% of 1x5
    pull-ups 3x max
    back extensions 3x max

    REST - DAY 5

    MEDIUM - DAY 6
    squat 3x5 at 80% of 1x5
    bench press/press 1x5
    deadlift 1x5
    conditioning vertical jumps

    CONDITIONING - DAY 7
    sprinting - 400m

    REST - DAY 8
    and on day 9, start again.

    Because of heavy impact on legs from sprinting, I know I can't do volume and intensity in the same week for squats. Is it too little or too much to do 3x5 at 80% of 1x5 on Friday?
    Kind regards Andy,
    Sanjin Imanic.

    You could probably get away with:

    Monday - Heavy Squat/Bench / Power Clean
    Tuesday - Sprints
    Weds - Light Squat / Press / Chins
    Thurs - Off
    Friday - Medium Squat / Bench / Deads
    Sat-Sprint
    Sun - Off
