food, training volume above a certain % with high specificity to the movements you want to get good at, food, volume

and most importantly, genetics

I thought the bar was supposed to have a linear vertical path?

>>40847063
no, she starts aligned with your shoulders but goes to your chest at the end

>>40847063
Isn't that basically a guilotine press?

>>40847168
I mean over your chest. but I guess it makes it harder to hold the bar up in the start of the movement.
>>40847155
yeah, sounds natural. cant look at a mirror though so Idk if I'm being doing it wrong

okay, everyone knows you should train every muscle 3 times a week

If the bar came down in a straight line from the start position you'd end up impinging your rotator cuff tendons on your shoulderblades.

Thoughts on texas method?

Are you:

1. Male
2. Under 35
3. In a position to sleep 8 hours or more a night, minimum
4. Willing to do no other heavy/strenuous activity while running the program (besides normal walking around, cycling, etc)
5. Willing to eat at a fairly significant surplus
6. Suffering from no significant stressors as a result of your current lifestyle
7. Seriously (or semi-seriously) considering competing in powerlifting or weightlifting in the near to medium-term future?

If your response to any of those is no, don't do the Texas Method, because there's really no point. You'll just feel like shit the whole time you're doing it and will likely make much more progress on another intermediate routine that's less taxing.

If you answer yes to all those questions, give TM a try. Back off a little from your previous highest 5 rep sets and use that as your intensity day. Start with volume day about 85-90% of intensity day. Don't try to start off too heavy or you'll stall pretty much immediately.

531 works for me
