    Hello coach,

    Last four months I've been doing 4-day texas method split according to Jordan:
    Day1: Bench 5x5, Press 8x3, Pullups
    Day2: Squat 5x5, PwClean 5x3, Abs
    Day3: rest
    Day4: Bench 5x1, Press 3x3, Pullups
    Day5: Squat 5x1, Deadlift 5x1, Abs
    Day6: rest

    I've been doing it on a 6day cycle because it fits my shifts better. I've had steady progress and I'm about to reach my short term goals (Sq: 5x315, Bench 5x225, Deadlift 5x335).

    The thing is that my PT exams are comming closer. I need to train for a 12min run and maximize pullups. I don't want to loose my gainzz though.

    Question: Where should I cut my training back to free regeneration capacity for running?

    Thank you in advance for your answer.
