    Shifting to Texas Method starting now. I was doing Madcow for awhile, but decided to change it up. I was dealing with some aches and pains, and was stalling, so I decided it couldn't hurt to reset, which should make the first few weeks relatively easy. I'm also linking my Madcow log for reference.

    Also, I'm easing into to it on the first week, so the first week or two won't really be true Texas Method, but I'm sure it will start getting harder soon enough.

    So this is Week One, Volume Day

    Squat (easing into it by ramping the sets)
    205x5
    210x5
    215x5
    220x5
    225x5

    Press
    70x5
    75x5
    80x5
    85x5
    90x5

    Dead Lift
    315x5

    I think the general consensus is that deadlifts are best done on intensity day.

    By all means, give it a go on volume day. But if you find it really suffering, consider switching it.
