That's a great bench. Are you competing in the IPF meet this year? You've got a better bench than Leah, but she has you on total.
Hello....
After just over a year of novice workout to workout progression I'm about to make the move from novice LP to Texas Method. I've read up PPST3 but there are certain exercises I love doing and would really appropriate some advice on where I could fit them in. The exercises are...
1, Incline press (normally dumbbells)
2, Barbell and dumbbell rows
3, All different pull up variations
I want to do a 4 day split, and my main focus is getting numbers up, however some added size would be very welcome also.
If it matters, my stats are....
Height: 5ft 7
Body weight: 67KG
Bench Press (1RM): 100KG
Squat (1RM): 140KG
Deadlift (1RM): 160KG
OHP (1RM): 62.5KG
Thanks for any advice!!

Thanks Rip! My bench was always a weak point for me but I worked hard and found out the hard way you can not rush the progression. I've never really thought about competing, never thought my numbers would be high enough.
I want to progress on with the Texas method to keep those numbers going up, and who knows, maybe one day I might compete.
Do you think including the exercises I listed above would fit into Texas method? Also, if you don't mind me asking, although I would like to do a 4 day split, I'm open to a 3 day split also if you felt that a better fit for my experience? I just want to keep those numbers going up 💪🏻
Any time a female lifter drives a bench press over 200 pounds, she's doing something right. And recovery is usually not a problem for most women who pay enough attention to protein intake, so add them and see what happens.
Rip the king! I love it.
Ok, I'll admit it.
I read this thread 3 times trying to figure this out.
Very good.
Wait... You guys don't think this is a female OP?
