    Default Powercleans and speed deadlift on 4 day TM?

    I been following the 4 day texas method and everything seems to be doing well except for my deadlift
    I understand I need to add some volume to stimulate some deadlift progress
    But I really don't want to stop doing Powercleans

    I am following the basic 4 day texas method split on pp page 150

    I don't understand why you don't just do the program on page 150.

    I am following it
    But I am stuck with the progression on deadlifts

    I am also implementing some ideas from 70s big by Justin
    He said after progressing powercleans you can switch to speed deadlift

    Should I try deadlifts every 2 weeks?
    My deadlifts is really breaking down every week
    My deadlifts even got a little weaker after i deload 10%
    I even switched to 3 reps
    Still breaking down

    I am a 30 year old male 225 pounds
    Squat 330 x 3
    Deadlift 390 x 3
    Bench 288.5 x 3
    OHP 192.5 x 3
    Powercleans 209 x 1
    Powersnatch 145 x 1

    The reason my squats is behind is because I kept trying everything on the 3 day split but at 30 years old it just wasn't working
    So switched to 4 day split and every rep has been solid and a little below parallel
    My upper body didn't really stall that much because of muscle memory

    Now only my deadlift is stalling
    And I take long rest breaks between sets 7+ minutes

    Why are you doing 3s? Why not just do the program? As written?
