Looks like I'll but cutting to Texas Method on Monday. Right now looking into keeping the bench in more than the press. It's been recommended that I take a 5% deload on starting the program.

Let Friday be 395, and let Monday 5x5 be 90% of that. 355X5X5, then do 395 for 5 on Friday.
My worry about the Chicagoans going to TM (there's a bunch of you) is that you're going to start too heavy. It is a difficult program, and will get heavy soon enough.
Thank you, Karl. By Friday you mean Friday of next week, yes? I have zero doubt that TM will get heavy soon enough, that's why I thought Manveer's recommendation of a small (5%) reset was good. But if the PPST advice of letting the first ID work at my last x5x3 weight on LP is enough of an offload I'll go with that!
I literally was just reading about that pitfall in PPST. It was going to be 5% off of my 3x5 for my First ID on Friday with my Monday workout being 335x5x5. I don't like the idea of taking a month to work back up to 395x5 but after running LP I've learned that a little temperance goes a long way.
OK, I dunno. Listen to Karl. I only have my own singular experience to draw from while he has a bunch more. Plus I started TM too early anyway.
