Hmmm hearing a lot of good things about Texas method and honestly my lifts are high novice low intermediate.

I always made my best strength gains on programs similar

I just need to figure out how the fuck I'd customize it for myself

The thing is the most important part of your training isn't your program. It's your commitment to it aka stick to it for a long time. Always searching for the best program leads to spinning your wheels.

I know. I've been on my current program for the last 13 months and I'm honestly just bored of it. I'm on a deload right now so I'm just looking at other options.

Thanks! The one thing that always scares me with programs like this is the lack of isolation. I feel like I'll get huge lats and legs, but my shoulders and arms won't grow.

Just add like 50 pullups 3 times a week np. Anyways it's not a program you'd stay on more than a few months because progress every weeks is not sustainable.

I progressed pretty consistently on intensity day like this:

Week 1: new 5RM
Week 2: new 3RM
Week 3: new 1RM
Week 4: 5RM + 5lbs
Week 5: 3RM + 5lbs
Week 6: 1RM + 5lbs

Prolongs the gains + keeps you motivated since youre hitting a PR every single week without the stress of having to beat last weeks session

Edit : i think i started my week 1 at submaxiaml PRs tho
