I am doing the texas method routine. On Wednesday, the recovery day it says to do:
A.Squat2 x 5 @ 80% of Monday’s work weight
B.Overhead Press (if you bench pressed Monday)3 x 5* or Bench Press (if OHP on Monday)3 x 5 @ 90% previous 5 x 5 weight
>****C.Chin-up3 x Bodyweight*****
What did he mean by this?
normal chinups with no added weight
>>39819327
he suggest doing three simple chin ups or three sets to failure?
I just recently started doing weighted pull ups (35lbs).

He means 3xF for chinups of bodyweight. However, I think there's variations where you can add weight
>>39819357
>3xF for chinups of bodyweight
that sounds better.
Thanks anons.
