Texas method

[oso0960]

So I've been trying the texas method stated in Practical programming and has worked for 3 weeks so far. I was wondering since the middle day is supposed to be a light day that doesn't interfere with the homeostatic disruption, it probably wouldn't be good to add deadlifts then?

well, unless you deadlift 'light' I wouldn't think so. Which is heavy day, friday?

Glancing at the Texas Method in Practicle Programming, it mentions that the weights used on friday are the heaviest of the week (using high intensity and low reps/volume). I would do my deads on friday personally.

after speaking to rippetoe over the phone, i did a write-up of it out here: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=545150

i dont quite understand ur question.

u can have deads either on wednesday or friday. by light doesnt mean having to train using light weights. that only applies to squats. ideally, u can choose any 3 lifts and stagger them over the whole week.

i have personally dropped deads for the time being because i did DC Training for 14 weeks and that has fried my motor pathways....but thats another story. the point is that u can have deads either on wednesday or friday.

im not sure whether ur making fun of me or not. if u are making fun of me, i could care less. i set up a thread which the great man liked and i also have been doing the program for the last 15 weeks with great progress (thanks to Ripps advice). u want to call me a powerlifting nerd (335-225-385) then please be my guest. it wont change my progress or my gains one bit.
