How long did it take you to stall on SS? I think I just did and

because you didn't follow instructions and try to do 2.5kg jumps

texas method is very, very hard. adding a ton of shit to it is unrealistic.

yes, that is correct.

I'm resting 5+ minutes.

I did.

Are there any other programs that would give me my goal or is it unrealistic?

>I'm resting 5+ minutes.
If you say so. I've found that if the rest time is long enough I will complete all the sets even if the first set feels hard. If you can do the first two sets and fail on the last one then it's very likely you're not resting long enough.

>I did.
in your post you say your OHP is stuck on 55 kg because you can't do 57.5kg. clearly you're doing 2.5kg jumps.

>Are there any other programs that would give me my goal or is it unrealistic?
texas method works, but you can't add a ton of shit to it. I don't see why you need to, though. You need some curls, maybe some extra work for your shoulders and calves. As long as you're making steady progress on all the compounds and eating a small surplus you'll get bigger and bigger.

Sorry misread that. I'm going to buy some 0.5 kg plates just for OHP.

But why was I able to do it with 55x3x5 then progressed nicely to 57.5x3x4 only to start struggling on 55x3x5 again? Should I eat more?

>>39379252
Because 57.5x3x4 was too big of a stress for you to recover from in time so your performance suffered. You didn't get weaker, you were just underrecovered.

Eating more is one solution, but if you get microplates you can probably push it more. I did 1kg jumps from around 80kg bench to over 100kg when doing SS. There's no way I could have done that with 2.5kg jump. Same for the press.

You might be getting near the end of the program, though, so don't try to force it too much. When you feel you're spinning your wheels I recommend getting on TM (or something else) and getting that slower, but more consistent progress. Also note that it's possible to do TM for one of the exercises and doing SS for the rest. For example, I started TM programming on squats and kept SS style programming on bench/press for many more weeks. if you're still making linear progress on something then you don't have to change everything at the same time

Thanks. I'll increase my rest times to around 8 minutes next week and try to resume progress in 1 kg jumps and see where it takes me. If I'm still stuck I'll just do TM for that compound like you suggested.
