Split

[Anthony D]

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
