That's a good layout, no reason it can't work just fine
Hi Andy
I'm looking for the best way to implement Intermediate training for myself. I've been doing HLM but it is starting to grind me down with squat and deadlift volume and intensity all on my heavy day.
So my question comes down to what to actually do about that. Was thinking of doing a split as follows. Have already tried the MON workout and my triceps blew up like balloons. Is this something I'm likely to be able to adapt too, or is it too much. I'm trying to plan a workout I can kind of settle into for a few months.

Andy,
If someone were struggling on H/L/M with squatting heavy and pulling heavy on the Heavy Day (essentially the old Texas Method Volume Day set up), would moving the DL to the Medium Day and moving the other pull (SLDL, RDL, PCs...) to the Heavy Day make sense or does this change the H/L/M relationship too much?
Thanks for your time.
It doesn't seem to matter that much. I routinely put Deads on the light or medium day with success. Generally I keep the squatting and pressing on the same schedule.
