    Default Texas Method 5x5 or 8x3

    I've done TM for a few weeks but am having trouble on the last reps of volume day for squats. I do well with first 3 or 4 reps but struggle on the last rep. Would 8x3 work the same as 5x5?

    Maybe for a few weeks. 3s run their course fairly quickly though. You could probably get away with about 6x3 as well and still move forward without burying yourself with volume
