Tezas Method Question
Mr.Rippetoe
First off. It's an honor. My name is Jonathan and i have been following your teachings for some time now(over a year or so). I must say that my lifts are remarkably better than before. I am 22 years old and weigh 180lbs. I have read both SS and PPST front to back and use it as a source of referrence now. My current PRs are:
Squat 285x5RM
Deadlift 325x5RM
B.Press 205x5RM
Press 135x5RM
P.C. 155x3RM
I am currently starting this:
DAY 1 / TUESDAY
Squat 5x5
B.Press/Press 5x5
P.C. 8x3
Weighted Pull-ups/Chin-ups 6x3
Weighted Sit-ups
Reverse Hypers (should these be weighted?)
DAY 2 / THURSDAY
Front Squat 5x2
Press/B.Press 5x2
Halting Deadlift 8x2
Dips
Sit-ups
DAY 3 / SATURDAY (Attempt PRs, PR repetitions vary weekly)
Squat 5RM,3RM,2RM,1RM
B.Press/Press 5RM,3RM,2RM,1RM
Deadlift 5RM,3RM,2RM,1RM
The reason for me choosing the Halting Deadlift is because i feel the lower portion of my deadlift has gotten weaker. When I'm attempting PRs i notice my knees lockout too fast and the bar hasn't even reached the top of my patella. Basically ends up being a SLDL. I think this has been happening because i took 3 months off from deadlifting and power cleans. Iv'e been doing Barbell Rows and SLDL instead. I will show you a video next time i post so you can see my form on my deadlift and squat.
My goal is to build relative strength. I want to be able to squat 315 for 5, Deadlift 365 for 5, B.Press 225 for 5, and Press 155 for 5 within 4-6 months.
Do you think this is realistic with the program shown above? Should i make any adjustments to the program above?

The only thing I'd change would be to put the Haltings on Tuesday and the cleans on Thursday so that Saturday's DL workout was done when better recovered from Tuesday.
