Mark Rippetoe's Texas Method is one of the most well renowned intermediate
strength programmes in history. However, as he outlines in Practical Programming for
Strength Training, the program was originally aimed to be a general strength training
programme. Rippetoe suggests some modifications to be made on the program to adapt it to
Powerlifting, but with the popularity of the sport growing immensely, it is the aim of this e-book
to explore all possible manipulations of the programme to produce the best results for
Powerlifting training, as well as modifications for it to help individuals with specific needs,
preferences, and secondary goals. As such, it is aimed at both athletes and coaches alike,
where the recommendations and manipulations can be applied to your training, or your
clients’ if you are a coach.
