As alluded to a couple posts back, I decided to start Texas Method this week. I hope I'm doing this right. I didn't have time for assistance work today, so I only do squats, press and power cleans.
Squats
2x5x20kg
5x35kg
3x50kg
2x65kg
5x5x80kg with 3-5min rest between each set. Even at this lighter weight, I still moved fairly slowly on the last rep of each set.
Press
2x5x20kg
5x22.5kg
3x25kg
2x27.5kg
5x5x30kg
Power Clean
3x35kg
2x40kg
5x3x45kg
Basic plan is this:
Mon 5x5 (or 5x3 for cleans) sets across at a moderate weight - squats, bench/press, cleans. Assistance: 3x6 calf raise, pull ups (as I have been doing).
Wed 3x3 sets across at a light weight - overhead squats, power snatches. Pull ups superset with dips, 3x7 calf raise.
Fri 1x5 - squats, press/bench, deadlift. Assistance 3x8 calf raise, pull ups.
I'm lifting below capacity for now so that I'll (hopefully) be reaching my PR's in 3-4 weeks and setting new PR's afterwards.
ETA: It'll be interesting to see how my legs are feeling tomorrow, after increasing volume on squats by an extra 2 sets.
