I've been using TM as a template for some time, and the Mondays make me want to KMS. When I'm done with squats I'm too low energy to do proper pressing.
Today, in kg:
>SQ 107,5: 5,5,4, 100: 5,5
>OHP 47,5: 4, 45: 5,4,4 game over
>Go home, spent 1,5 hours on 9 working sets, wow, no DL today
I'd rather do something else. How about this?
SQ set one: Maximum weight, up to 5 reps
SQ volume sets: 2x5@90%
OHP/BP set one: Maximum weight, up to 5 reps
BP/OHP volume: 3x5@90%
DL/Chin-up: 1x3 to 5 DL or "enough" chin-up Volume
Extra for high-energy days: Farmer's walk, Front Squat, Power Clean or Klokov Press
What's your opinion?
I'm sure there is someone who had the same problems.

Eating is not a problem, gained 20kg in the last 8 months, still gaining.
Eating inbetween; I might try that.

Go back to SS and eat twice as much as you are now
Try get to 130kg in squat before you go back to TM

The thing about TM is the mondays are always going to be brutal, and if you can't get through them you best look for another program
Just do a brosplit if you wanna be a bitch

>TM for some time
you could move to a bi-weekly template, stretch volume day over a week, then stretch friday over the other, and maybe add a recovery week when needed.
Volume squats will still be brutal, but when you're planning to warm up, do your squats, and leave, it's ok.

Yeah I feel like Jeb bush in the gym.
>>39876253
Do you have any experience on that?

>>39876008
Aim for Squats 5x5@80%. When I started TM I was aiming to 90% and felt like you. Then went go to 80% and felt better while still making progress
>>
>>39876008
Split the squats and bench/OHP
Turn it into upper/lower volume
>>
>>39876586
Ok, I'll give it another try.
>>39876625
This won't fit into my schedule
