    Default Missing all reps on ID Texas Method

    Following are my past 2 weeks on the TM. I would like to know why I completely missed all the reps on ID in week 6. Is this a recovery issue? I've been sleeping 7-8h a day. On missed rep day the weight felt like it was double the amount and was completely crushing me, I coudn't even squeeze 1 rep out. The training is structured like this

    Week 5

    SQ
    130kg 5x5
    105kg 2x5
    152.5kg 2x3

    DL
    145kg 3x5
    3x Chins
    167.5kg 1x5

    Week 6
    SQ
    132.5kg 5x5
    107.5kg 2x5
    155kg 2x3 - Missed all reps

    DL
    147.5kg 3x5
    3xChins
    170kg 1x5 - Missed all reps including 150kg warm-up

    During my Intensity days I am resting 11m between sets, taking 5lb jumps each week, eating wise I could do better; currently gaining 1-2lbs a week. I kissed my abs good bye and am fluffy around the belly now.
    I'm 5'9, 191lbs trying to get to 220

    What about upper body? I don't know what program you're running exactly but there must at least be intensity day for bench or press going on, right? Did that encounter the same problem? This is very strange. I've never had a lift go from fine one week, to being unable to even perform 1 rep a week later at a slightly higher weight. Usually I miss 1, maybe 2 if I was basically doing a heavy limit set the prior week.

    I'm not doing TM with the upper body lifts which is why I didn't include it. My benchpress and press are still going through NLP.

    When I reflect on the 6th week of training I remember that I had played an intense game of 3 on 3 basketball on sunday which I haven't been doing these past few months (I train tuesday, thursday, and saturday). Monday my lower back was sore from basketball so I just laid in bed and rested the whole day. Tuesdays volume day felt like shit, my lower back was sore and tired. Decided to rest and do nothing wednesday and Friday. Thursdays light day was good and much needed. Friday night I was driving and I noticed that my lower back was still sore which hardly ever happens... and then intensity day game around and my lower back just could not transfer the force from my legs, felt so sore and shit. Do you think the 3 on 3 was enough to distrupt my recovery? If so, how do I bounce back and get back on track?

    Yesterday I did my volume day (dropped it to 82.5%), it wasn't too smooth, legs felt tired and not refreshed. Nonetheless, I completed the workout. That night I decided to get some extra sleep so I slept earlier, 9pm. I kid you not, I was rolling around in bed until 3am despite having already taken 4mg of melatonin. Heard that insomnia is a side affect of fatigue/over training..Have I completely messed up my training? should I switch to a HLM? I feel like absolute shit, there is no way I'm going to hit my lifts on ID..

    Am I missing something? You’re deadlifting 3x5 and 1x5 each week? I’ve not done the TM but I thought you did a single 1x5 deadlift on volume day and cleans or snatches on intensity day?
