Abandoning Texas Method (for now)

Texas Method is neat but it's too limiting and regimented and my schedule is too in flux. To maintain strength and try to build some weight capacity, I will do some loose variation Black Box max-outs 2-3 times a week... and I will prob keep the once-a-week schedule on weighted dips and pull-ups, and maybe even deadlifts... But will vary my workouts a bit more.

Bephf: then assuming you hit 275 and fail at 285

Bephf: next week: 3 x 225, 3 x 245, 3 x 265, 1 x 285, 1 x 295, 1 x 305

5 x 130, 5 x 140, 5 x 150, 3 x 165, 3 x 175, 3 x 185;
3 x 150, 3 x 160, 3 x 170, 1 x 185, 1 x 195, 1 x 205

Push Press:
