Put your 3x5, 1x5, or 5x3 numbers in here as appropriate. If


My current lifts: you've been fucking around and finding out your 1RM, put
that in, it'll adjust accordingly.
I measure weights using: lbs
Squat: 345 lbs for: 5 reps (1RM: 388 lbs)
Bench Press: 210 lbs for: 5 reps (1RM: 236 lbs)
Deadlift: 405 lbs for: 5 reps (1RM: 456 lbs)
Press: 170 lbs for: 5 reps (1RM: 191 lbs)
Power Clean: 155 lbs for: 5 reps (1RM: 174 lbs)

2-week progression pace: Typically 10 for deadlift and squats, 5 for the rest.
Lower this if things are moving too quickly.

Squat: 10 lbs 5
Bench Press: 5 lbs 5
Deadlift: 10 lbs 5
Press: 5 lbs 5
Power Clean: 5 lbs 2.5
How granularly rounded do you want your warmups to be?
Smallest weight increment: These numbers must NOT be greater than your increments,
and squats must be half or less!

Squat: 5 lbs 0
Bench Press: 2.5 lbs 0
Deadlift: 5 lbs 0
Press: 2.5 lbs 0
Power Clean: 2.5 lbs 0 0

BP/OHP cycle pace? Let 'er rip! 3


Limit: Limited to 3x your progression pace
Slow-roll: Cutting it back a bit, limited to 2x progression pace. Allows for slower, steadier progression.
Let 'er rip!: After 3RM, 1RM is calculated, incremented the 2-week increment, and aimed for the next workout.
OHP Wednesday decrement? 95% 0 0
This should be somewhere between 90% and 99%. Default is 95%
0

Good, on to the workout!


This spreadsheet is intended for people who have done SS and now need to move on
to the next phase of training. For the power cleans, it will work best if you just put
your 5x3 weight and 3 reps down, as there is no aim to go for heavy singles. Similar
for deadlift, just put your latest weight and reps. Squats will be slightly different, in
that you'll go back to 5x5 and 1x5 training, but if you're in no rush, just put the last
weight you did at 3x5. Things might seem a little light at first, but weekly
progression will kick in soon enough.

Bench and Press have some fun variation to them. Your 1RM will be calculated and
then strived for on the first workout. Two weeks later you'll go for 2 reps of your
previous 1RM weight, and then you'll go for 3 two weeks after that. At this point,
you'll have three choices. All three will have the 1RM calculated from the 3RM, and
have your 2 week increment added. "Let 'er rip" will use this figure, or the adjusted
figure if you didn't hit at least 3 reps. "Limit" will use the smaller of the "Let 'er rip"
figure and the previous cycle's 1RM plus three two-week increments. "Slow-roll" is
similar as "Limit", but uses two two-week increments.

Also, you get to choose the increment of Wednesdays OHPs. Rippetoe says that
while you should have a lower load on Wednesday, the decrement isn't the same as
for BP (90%). However, he doesn't give the figure to be used. We'll use 95% to
begin with, you can change this on the following page if you wish. If you wish to
read the program and decide for yourself, you can find it at http://www.t-nation.
com/free_online_article/most_recent/the_texas_method.

On Fridays, be sure to record the number of reps you put up for everything but
power cleans. For power cleans enter number of sets completed. At the end of the
6-week cycle, put the finish date up near the Xa cycle title (cell D9 for the first cycle,
for example). Your estimated 1RMs will be calculated, and if you put your weight
for the respective date on the Stats page, your lift:bodyweight ratios will be recorded
as well. Good luck!
This spreadsheet was put together with liberal borrowing from SteamRoxorz of the
SS forums, as well as poteto of Reddit. If interest occurs, future versions will be
announced on Reddit's fitness and/or weightroom subs. You can download the latest
version at http://www.mediafire.com/TexasMethod. Otherwise, you can contact me
directly on Reddit! -akharon
I've been using this spreadsheet so I decided to import it to google docs so I
can use it from my iphone and update it a bit. It checked out okay when I
tried downloading to my excel, but YMMV. You can contact me on the SS
forums. -strideknight
