Thank you very much! My plan was 12 weeks of TM, but its getting a little rough. Im thinking of doing an RPE based periodization, 3 day full body. HERE with slight modifications

6-4
recovery day

light squat - 275x5x2 sets
press - 175x5x3
chins -10,10

*tons of fatigue today, so i decreased some sets. wow i feel tired, not completely recovered from volume day. next week im going to reduce volume day sets to 4.

everything felt great. hook grip still a little painful as you can see by the video and the stupid faces i make

recovery day

squat - 275x5x3

much better today than last weeks R day, think the reduction in volume day helped

6-13
mock meet

squat - 365,385,400
bench press - 285,300,315
DL - 385,405,425

mixed feelings, first time ever squatting 400, but failed on the 425 pull. weird bc 405 went up so easy, i think it was bc my wife was rushing the hell out of me to get done and watch the kids so i didnt take enough break. anyways, TM did its job and got me stronger, now look forward to something new. BW=224, still not sure about what weight class to go for the fall open.

Congrats on the 400 squat and 315 bench! Whatever you do don't cut.

Nice lifts man! You gotta tell the wife it's "daddy's time" so you can pull that 425! Lol
