Can a Texas Method be altered for Hypertrophy or is it really only designed for strength training?
I just did a lot of reading in Starting Strength and Practical Programming, and in theory, I should be able to use the TM template and just shift the 1RM%s and rep ranges into hypertrophy, and it should be a hypertrophy program, right?

why not do an actual hypertrophy routine instead?

It's a strength program. Do sheiko instead

Like what?
Hypertrophy routines are so mired in bro-science and market-shilling that I can't fucking tell a reliable program from a bullshit one.
One day someone says PPL is solid as fuck, the next it's 'meme-tier'. Etc, ad nauseum.
I *KNOW* that hypertrophy will be my intermediate program goal, and I'm on the cusp of needing to change up soon, but I'm lost.

I edge quite often, and once I'm done with my workout I reward myself with the nut I've so desperately craved.
I also make music (Hip Hop/Synthwave).

switched from 85% to 90% for my Texas Method volume days.. fuck it was hard. I mean I was in no fear of missing a rep but the last ones were hard.
Is this a good thing? Hoping it pays off. I think my volume days were way too light compared to my intensity. Doing 90% for volume and 80% of that for recovery day

Some times I feel like genetics isn't that important in powerlifting.

I started with snus. Basically, i'm still addicted to and getting nicotine, but in a presumably healthier way (the effects are not as studied). At least I don't inhale any smoke.

You probably want to quit drinking too

One day I woke up and got tired of smelling like an ash tray. Gave away the half carton I had and haven't smoked again in 2 years. Granted when I see people smoking on TV it makes me crave one but it's never to the point I find myself debating whether or not to buy a pack. It's just about whether or not you truly want to quit or not.

Can I still make good gains if I can only go to the gym Friday Saturday and Sundays /fit/? If so what do you recommend I work on each of those days?

Yeah man a lot of people only train 3 times a week and have great physiques. I can't recommend what you should do each day because I go 6 days a week and work 1 body part a day for around 40 mins

i know my muscle mass won't increase if i'm eating at a deficit, but will my cardiovascular fitness increase as i do it more despite losing weight? like other than the obvious of just being lighter on my feet, will my running/cycling/rowing stamina actually increase or is it the same as the gains?

good for heart.
eat more protons so it doesn't kill whatever lean mass you have so far.
>>
>>40701598
i'm smashing protein atm, i'm not being exact with macros but it's probably 50-55% of my daily kcals
>>
>>40701637
then you should be fine.
What does /fit/ think about H(heavy)S(Stretch)P(Pump) Training? It sounds promising but you basically have to do about 16 exercises in your workout, it starts looking like a program for roid users instead of nattys, program made by pic related, however I've seen similair programs in the past

TLDW: It's a full body program that has you do your heavy lifts first, then do lifts that stretch the muscle like dumbell flies, and then as a finisher doing exercises that give you a pump, most of the pump exercises are done with partial reps
anyway, my problem with it is that you have to do ~16 exercises per workout

Hey /fit/, I've been working out for the past month using 5x5 3 days a week but I feel as if it is not enough. My muscles never seem sore and on top of that I'm not really seeing any gains yet. Should I do it every day and take the weekend as rest days? Thanks

>any gains
you mean strength or size?
>>
>>40700780
Both, I don't seem like can lift anything heavier and my size is the same. I have noticed a very slight difference in my arms though.
>>
>>40700760
Do every other day then. Do not do a 5x5 routine everyday. You're not seeing results because you're a month in and you're not sore because you're either not adding weight or not pushing yourself
Keep adding weight and add accessories like dips and pull-ups
