Here’s another workout program for those that can already be considered under intermediate or advanced level, meaning to say, have been working out for more than a year already. It is called as ‘The Texas Method’.

The Texas Method had been developed by Mark Rippetoe and Glenn Pendlay which will have you training three days a week. Each day is considered as a full body workout which will focus on your squatting and upper body exercises. The first day is called the volume day, the second referred to as the light/recovery day and the last workout day as the intensity day.

Basically you would like to be dealing with higher weights on your last day as compared to your first day. You have the middle workout day to help you recover from the intensive first day workout and power up for the next workout session. The key here is not the workout-to-workout progress but rather what you need to be looking at is your weekly progress.

Typically, you should be progressing about 5-10 pound per week. It may not seem a lot, but then over time, the compounded weight you are able to hit is considered a considerable progress. If you find that you are having difficulty completing a workout session, especially on your last day, do not force your body to much. You may cut back on the number of sets or lightening the weight on your next week workout to help your body adjust.

You will not only be able to gain more strength but it will help you develop a weekly workout habit.
