A 4-5 day TM split.

no way you're recovering from an ABCxABCx frequency with that much volume while staying natty

Semi oldfag reporting in.
I haven't been around for a while and haven't seen this meme before. Could someone explain it what it's all about?
Isn't working out three days a row too much stress for your CNS / muscles?

>>35657592

>Even Justin admits the Texas Method isn't optimal for mass building

Sauce
If you split the days or add accessories TM is perfect for a natty lifter who wants to focus on aesthetics. Only roiders or people who don't care about being weak fags (for the same hypertrophy result) should worry about bodybuilding splits.

>>35658014

Depends.

If you are a beginner or roiding then no.

If you're not a weak fag then yes.

>>35658049
>if you take TM and then convert it into a bodybuilding split it's great for aesthetics

I can't even tell if this is bait

10x5 deadlifts
10x5 OHP

twice a week

not joking, this shit works insanely well

>>35658049
The TM is already so taxing that adding accessories would defeat its purpose

>>35657987
Routine suggestions?

>>35657592
>didn't include the hormone cycling routine

Its not the routine/days you do what - its the progression, overload, recovery - this is why texas method works

Also, splits work great for mass when you're on steroids. But for natty lifters mass=strength

>>35658251
But does Texas Method target the muscle groups evenly enough to create an aesthetic physique

>>35658290
that depends entirely on the rate your muscles grow at, your body proportions and tons of other factors.

>>35657938
U dont know shit

At what point should someone abandon SS and go on to Texas Method?

My OHP, Bench, and Deadlift are all intermediate but my Squat is lagging because of prior mobility issues (tight hip flexors). Should I move on from SS despite having low Squats or should I stay with SS to improve Squats but let everything else suffer?

>>35658435
lifts?

>>35658014
it's an oldschool bodybuilding split
you get 4 days of rest for each muscle group, and it's meant for somewhat higher reps (6-8, but mainly ~10) so it's a lot easier on cns than working at around 80-90% most of the time

(though on this kind of split ohp should be kept to only 2-3sets because your frontdelts get all the blast from chest day
so you can recover and be ready to give 100% on next chest day
side and rear delts are meant to be trained with back and mainly with isolation-type movement(s)

>>35658435
Once you stop progressing

>>35658560
All 1RM
OHP - 160 lbs
Bench - 220 lbs
Squat - 230 lbs
Deadlift - 325 lbs

>>35658587
I progress but sometimes not weekly.

>>35658435
doesn't matter where your lifts are
if you can't add weight each workout (you stalled and deloaded, but it didn't work), you might need some sort of daily-weekly periodization to keep progressing

you have 300lb bench, but if you still can add 1-2 lbs per session (or week), you don't need periodization, and you are considered a beginner (programming wise, you're obv not lifting beginner)

that's called "milking out your linear gains"
every form of periodization will slow progress for a person who doesn't need it yet, that's whypeople make most mistakes with programs such as 531, etc.

>>35658651
Sounds like you're just not eating enough. Your numbers are much lower than average point for a male to switch to intermediate.

>>35657592
>Even Justin admits the Texas Method isn't optimal for mass building. If this is true, what is optimal? PPL?

Standard TM is first and foremost a strength routine so of course it's not optimal for mass building. Turning it into a 4 day routine and adding a bunch of accessories is a different matter but that's not "Texas Method".

>Justin admits the Texas Method isn't optimal for mass building

Optimal is a silly word.

Nobody is ever training "optimally" unless they are a full-time athlete or unless they're running gear.

TM is a great, time effective way to get beginner/intermediate lifters stronger, quick.

Once you're strong, then you can figure out how to manipulate your programming to get "optimally" big.

That being said, a strength program will get most natties to 99% of their lean mass potential anyways. "Bodybuilding" is only for those that have really established a strength base.

preach

>>35658188
a) squat, standing ohp, farmer walk, dips
b) DL, bench, chin up, face pull

3X5 / 5X4 / 6X4 / 6X3 + 2 / 7X2 + 1 / 1RM

+2,5kg each day

>>35659124
I'm aware, but the cut off makes it look silly.

>>35658123

>not joking, this shit works insanely well

For a hot minute.

A better plan would be super basic:
>A
Squat/Press/Pull/Accessory
>B
Deadlift/Press/Accessory
>C
Squat/Press/Pull/Accessory

With a variety of reps and intensity. Can't really go wrong.

>>35657592
I don't think SS recommended doing deadlifts the day after squats

>>35657592
>Even Justin admits the Texas Method isn't optimal for mass building.

Source?

Would this work out be good on 6 days a week with plenty of sleep and calories?

>>35657592
>I don't know how muscle growth works
>please validate my ignorance

No.

Optimal? Large doses of steroids and kcals.

Best program? Compound movements organized however the fuck you'll stick with them so they won't burn you out. Stop being a pussy.

>>35660375
Btw I'm a DYEL

>>35660388

It's alright, I made some gains on it, but you might end up changing some stuff around or add exercises; with all the bench, OHP, and front raises your anterior delts will get way more work than the rest, there's no ab work, you'll wanna not do DL 3x8, etc

>>35660388
>DYEL

Just do SS + a good amount of upper body accessories.

My routine:

PPLxPPLx

Pull:
- Deadlift 5x5
- Bentover BB Row 5x5
- BB Curl 5x5
- Planks 3xF

Push:
- Bench Press 5x5
- OHP 5x5
- Weighted dips 5x8
- Planks 3xF

Legs:
- Back Squat 5x5
- SLDL 5x5
- Weighted crunches 3x12

My routine, because now working full time and school full time.

ABCABCD

A- Squats 3-5*3-5
Shoulders(all threed heads) 3-4*10-13

B- DL 4-5*1-5
standing military press 3-5*5-7

C - Bis 3-4*10-12
Long head tris 3-4*10-12
Forearms 3-4*15
Bent over rows 3-4* 5-10
Shrugs/Farmers walk 3-4*10-15 (farmers walk is just times long as I can carry with straps 3 times)

D- REST.


I used to do a bunch of assistance work with squats and DL, basically the whole session was a superset. But I found my DL and Sqt were suffering hardcore, so it's nice to have a day I can basically give my all to them twice a week. If time wasn't a concern I'd just have 2.5 hr session every day, but it aint happenin.
