No problem Eric.

Glad you guys found it interesting. It's a bit of a toss up for me. I like the first one, as it's ballanced well and one could probably make a longer run at it before needing a break. On the other hand, I like the second one because I'm more of a Bench fan than a Press fan. There's a bit more work involved in the second one, so one would probably have to back off more often.

My limited Texas Method experience was closer to the second example and I found it worked great. I had to take a break every now and then, but I could usually set PR's on about everything for 6 weeks or so before needing an easy week or two. That said, if I ever need to go back to a 3 day set-up as an intermediate, I'd try something closer to the first one with a Bench emphasis over the Press.

Later,
Jeff
