Texas Method rest intervals
For the Basic Texas Method Program, what are the rest intervals for Squat, Press/Bench Press, Power Snatch/Power Clean on the Recovery day?
-
The same as they are for any other day: long enough so you complete the requisite work sets.
-
They are as long as you need but most likely in the 3-5 min range on the recovery day.
-
Do the Olympic lifts need shorter rest periods then the other strength exercises on the recovery day?
-
The Olympic lifts are not performed on the basic Texas method recovery day.
-
On page 120 of "Practical Programming For Strength Training" 3rd edition you have on Wednesday-Recovery Day Power Snatch 90-95% of the last workout of novice LP and thereafter of Monday's volume weight x2x3-4 for week1 and for the same day of week2 Power Clean 90-95%x3x3 of Monday's volume weight.
-
The power clean and power snatch are not the Olympic lifts. These power versions require less rest between sets than the strength lifts.

1/.For the volume day of Texas Method it is recommended to rest 8-10 min between sets for the strength exercises. On the same days the Power Clean 5x3 & Power Snatch 6-8x2 obviously require less rest. How much do you recommend?
2/. When running out the Texas Method or cycling intensity, the rest periods stay the same for the intensity day, 8-10 min?
3/. Rest intervals for assistance exercises? For example Chins 3x10 (A Sample Template for Dynamic Effort Method 4, PP for ST, page 134), or LTE 3x10-12, GHR/Chins 3x10, Dips 3x15, BB Row 3x10 (4 Day Texas Method: Version 2, Example Training Program, PP for ST, page 152).
4/. For the "4 Day Texas Method: Version 2", Example Training Program, PP for ST, page 152, what rest intervals are recommended for the Press 3x8 (Volume Press, week1) and Bench 3x8 (Volume Bench, week 2)?
