    Default How does this variation of the Texas Method look?

    Monday:
    Squats 5x5
    Press:5x5
    Power cleans:5x3

    wednesday:
    Light Squats:2x5
    Bench press: 3x5
    Deadlift: 1x5

    Friday (DE day):
    Squats: 10x3 (1 minute rest between sets) at 60% of 1rm
    Press: 10x3 (1 minute rest between sets) at 55% of 1rm
    Deadlift: 15 singles (30 second rest) at 65%1rm

    I'm not so sure about the deadlift/clean exercises. Squats should be good from what I've been researching and I'm also not so sure about the Press/bench press part. Any suggestions/advice/tips will be appreciated, thanks.

    I need to bench more often than your template calls for. Are you making the press your priority?

    I'd say either prioritize one and do it twice a week or change it to a 4 day split and do both twice a week.
