What results do people get from Texas Method?

5s last for months. Longer than your novice progression. Except that you're a vegan.

& you're a cocknoodle. But thanks

How long do 5s tend to work for you guys then before having to switch to 3s?

How long do vegetables work?

I think your mum uses a cucumber for about 30 mins if that helps?

Would you swallow him?

I swallowed the fucking pepper didn't I, KOTJ?

But for real, I was being serious. 5s usually last longer than the novice progression lasts, assuming you are optimizing recovery. It's pretty widely accepted that your dietary choices are less than optimal for strength, so it's quite possible your experience will beless than optimal, too.

I personally did not get good results out of TM.

ID only worked for me on the squat. ID on press movements didn't work. If I can do it for 5x5, I just can't do all that much more for 5x1. Also, I'm really bad at triples. They're not a huge amount higher than my best fives, and my technique really breaks down at that intensity.
My opinion was the volume didn't seem high enough for me to adapt. Probably because I just wasn't getting the needed stress from ID. When I started increasing my volume numbers started going up. again I.E. 5x5 twice a week on bench/squat, adding backoff sets after DL. Did learn quite a bit from TM, rotating rep ranges has been helpful, ID on squat is helpful.

I think TM suits those who can really optimise recovery from it. If that isn't possible (and I think you and I fit into this category) then the progress is harder, slower and shittier. 5s didn't last long for me either.
