    Stats- male, 5’10”,230lb

    Dead-460x3
    Bench-300x3
    Press-195x2

    Currently following Andy bakers garage gym warrior for my second run, want to switch to a 3 day Texas method when I am done. Last time I tried the standard Texas method as written my pres and bench stalled way before my squat and deadlift. In order to get more pressing in I am considering the following;

    Monday
    Squat vol
    Bench int
    Rdl

    Wednesday
    Press volume
    Deadlift intensity
    Bb rows

    Friday
    Squat intensity
    Press intensity
    Bench volume

    The only thing I am leaving out is the light squat day. Will this seriously hamper my progress on the squat, or is the light squat day largely unnecessary?

    Thanks

    You are likely going to miss the light squat. Not sure why you need to drop the light squat on this template. You might be better off doing a 4 day split if you want to drive both bench and press at the same time.
