    I've been thinking about going at the split Ripp mentioned in PP, pulls one day, squats and presses the next. However, I'm having trouble seeing how to program this considering I want it to have a Texas Method-esque flavor. By this I mean, I still want to pull a max DL weekly/biweekly and squat 5x5. Perhaps even throw a max squat still.

    I have something like this:

    Friday: cleans, working into a DL RM

    Sunday: squat 5x5

    Tuesday: cleans, swings

    Wednesday: squat RM

    Thoughts?

    In PP 2:

    Mon:
    Bench 5x5
    Press 10x3(dynamic effort)
    chins 3x10

    Tues:
    Squat 5x5
    PC 6x3

    Thurs:
    Press 5x5
    Bench 10x3(dynamic effort)
    pullups 3x10

    Fri:
    Squat 10x2(dynamic effort)
    alternate rack pulls/haltings


    I think you could do this, but put 5rms in place of the dynamic sets and deadlifts in place of the rack pulls & haltings.

    I know, I have PP2. I was just looking into a routine that places squats and pulls on different days as opposed to a upper/lower deal.

    Got it. I am doing the one from PP2, except with deadlifts, and DE deadlifts alternated on Fridays instead of the haltings and rack pulls.

    Monday, Thursday and Friday work pretty well. The powercleans on Tuesday are kinda shitty after squatting 5x5.

    Maybe something like this:



    Mon:
    Squat 5x5
    Press 10x3(dynamic effort), or 5RM
    chins 3x10

    Tues:
    Bench 5x5
    PC 6x3

    Thurs:
    Squat 10x2(dynamic effort), or 5RM
    Bench 10x3(dynamic effort), or 5RM
    pullups 3x10

    Fri:
    Press 5x5
    Deadlift 5RM
