so it's 2 or 3 months without being here, and I missed the board. Had a sudden accident in my family and although I continued training I didn't update with what was going on with me.

sooo.. back to business. was thinking about doing texas-rippetoe/eric's again. how about this set-up?

mon:
5x5 reg squat
5x5 bench
5x5 T bar

wed:
front squat 3x3
press 5x5
hyperextensions 2-3x6-8
chins to failure (3 sets)

fri:
1 set of 5 rep's - bench
1 set of 5 rep's - squat
5 sets of 3 reps - power clean (deadlift is killing me and I really want to do power cleans this time).

going to eat lots of proteins, and get 300 calories above maintenance per day.

I'd like to mention that the last time I was doing the "texas method" I did everything exactly like I was supposed to, but my bench simply didn't improve and it was dissapointing for me.

btw - I'm still thinking about doing 4x5 on volume day, since maybe 5x5 is too taxing. any ideas?
