Chuck's Texas Method log

[Cheech32917]

Some background:

After jacking around with split programs and "functional" training for about 3 years, a fellow trainer and good friend of mine let me borrow his SS book. Since then I've been playing around with SS and various other programs for about two years now.

Ive gone from 185lbs to 215lbs @ 5 ft 7in

Here are some of my recent PR's

Squats~ 1RM @ 475lbs

Bench Press~ 1RM @ 250lbs

Deadlifts~ 1RM @ 500lbs

Press~ 5RM @ 170lbs

My immediate goals are to squat 500lbs, bench 300, break my deadlift plateau and deadlift over 500lbs, and to press my bodyweight.

Think I'm gonna end progression on SS soon and am looking for good TM template. My goals are pretty same than yours Anyway, one question:

So your texas method template is:

Monday:
Squat/Bench/Power Clean

Wednesday:
Squat/Overhead Press/Chin Ups

Friday:
Squat/Bench/Deadlift

Do you switch between Overhead press and Bench press on weekly basis... like this week: bench mon and fri, press wed and next week: press mon and fri, bench wed?

[Cheech32917]

You got it right!

[partasuu]

Great! Hope it works for you
