phase 3 Texas Method has an emphasis on press if desired. I want to concentrate on my bench. I understand SLDL and Deadlifts will be done Monday and Friday, but since I’ll be pressing on Wednesday do I do the clean or snatch?

[Andy Baker (KSC)]

If you are doing a 3 day TM and want to focus on Bench, then Bench on Monday and Friday and Press on Weds. if doing a 4 day TM then you can probably do both 2x/week. The clean will be more useful to most people than the snatch because it’s heavier. If you want to do both then Clean on Monday, Snatch on Wednesday, and Friday pull a top set of Deads and if you want, pull a set of stiff legs after that as a back off set. Sometimes works better anyways to consolidate all “slow” pulling to 1x/week

Thank you I appreciate the help, I think I’ll end up doing cleans on Wednesday then I don’t really like the snatch.
