Intermediate program review after LP

[TurtleBack]

Male 27 years old
Height 6'0"
Weight 226lbs

5RM in lbs before and after:
Squat 45 -> 285
Press 45 -> 137.5
Deadlift 75 -> 305
Bench 75 -> 200

Currently I am squeezing out triples on my squats and deads and have been running HLM on my pressing movements for 5 weeks. I was hoping to get some feedback on my intermediate program layout. Since I am already running HLM on my presses I was going to keep that the same and run the Texas method on my pulls and squats.

Sunday
Squats 5x5 (90%)
Bench Press 1x5, 3x5 (90%)
Power Cleans 5x3


Tuesday
Front Squats 2x5
Press 1x5, 3x5 (90%)
Lat Pulldown 3x10 (can't do chins yet due to weight)

Thursday
Squats 1x5
Close Grip Bench 3x5
Deadlift 1x5

Sundays I have a lot of time to spend in the gym, but not so much during the rest of the week due to work. This is the reason why I want to do the Texas method on squats and pulls.

Thanks!

Modifications I would make:

Sunday
Squats 5x5 (90%)
Bench Press 1x5, 3x5 (90%)
Power Cleans 5x3 if your PC is not at least 50-60% of your DL I would sub in another pulling variant (in order of specificity: Pause DL, Rack Pull, SLDL, RDL)


Tuesday
Front Squats 2x5 or a squat variant more specific to back squat (light back squat, beltless squat, paused squat, pin squat, high bar squat)
Press 1x5, 3x5 (90%)
Lat Pulldown 3x10 (can't do chins yet due to weight)

Thursday
Squats 1x5
Close Grip Bench 3x5
Deadlift 1x5
-------------------
Also, keep in mind Jordan's article Into the Great Wide Open. This doesn't mean you have to stay away from TM, but perhaps check out other variants thereof.

I like the upper body lifts program.

For squats you can do also HLM:
Mon 1x5, 2x5 @ 90%
Wed 2-3x5 @ 80%
Fri 3x5 @ 90%

So basically you spread your volume, I think its easier that way.

Deadlift you put on any day that suits you, and throw chins 1-2 times per week.
