Google "12 ways to skin the texas method"

thanks, that was a good place to start but it really said nothing relevant to me. It recommended halting deads on intensity day if you can't power clean, but that's not my problem. I'm proficient with in the power clean I just want to work more deadlifts into my program because I suck a those.

Anyone here doing cowboy method?

Mag/Ort is a very good deadlifting program, but it operates on 1RM rather than 5RM, so you will have to account for that. There are plenty of U/L programs that have you doing deadlifts after squats and the people that run them don't break their fucking backs; their backs get stronger to handle the demand.
If you feel that more deadlifting volume a la Mag/Ort is what you need to drive your progress, fucking do it. The mentality of "only 1x5 for deadlifts" is enormously flawed, and unless your power clean is more than 50% of your deadlift, there's no reason to believe that it's going to be conducive to developing your deadlift.

my power clean is actually well over 50% of my deadlift because that is how much I suck at deadlifting, and I'm not worried about injuring my back I'm just worried that lots of deads and squats in one day will make my lower back sore as fuck. because that has been my experience before. So, all things considered, would you put ort/mag on volume day and move 1x5 to intensity day or add ort/mag on intensity day? Just what sounds better to you anon

I'd personally stick to all intensity on intensity day or switch to 4-day texas method.
>OHP intensity/CG bench volume
>squat intensity/DL volume - I'd recommend just running mag/ort week 2 or 3 based on an estimation of your 1rm
>bench intensity/ inc bench volume
>dl intensity/ squat volume

even the experienced SS coaches are advising more people to go for the TM 4-day template rather than the default one. If you're insistent on sticking to the 3-day, probably do a little bit of DL volume on volume day, like 3x3 @70-80% and a little additional volume on intensity day too.

ok thanks, I think I'm just going to add week 3 of ort/mag based on estimated 1rm to my intensity day from now on, considering the 4 day TM you recommend has me doing volume deads with intensity squats and vice versa, I don't see why I shouldn't set up my lower body lifts this way.
