PhD X Texas Method

My favorite strength program

Take a Tried-And-True Method to the Next Level

With TWO Full-Length Training Programs

The Texas Method is one of the most tried-and-true strength programs you can run. It's also the first program I ran as a powerlifter and I did so with great success.

But, like any cookie-cutter program, the Texas Method isn't perfect. Because it's designed to be used by everyone (beginner, intermediate and advanced lifters alike), it's not a perfect method for anyone.

PhD X Texas is different.

I've designed this course in the same way I designed Unf*ck Your Program: to teach you how to program for yourself and your own goals. The 12-week course walks you through the basics of the traditional Texas method, and builds on that. You'll learn how to:

  • Use a variety of training styles
  • Customize accessory work to build size and strength simultaneously
  • Autoregulate volume and intensity, so you'll never have another bad training session
  • Choose movements that fit your body and your goals
  • Set new personal records stress-free

This is the best programs I've ever written, and I hope you'll give it the shot it deserves. If you put in the time and effort, you'll achieve mind-blowing results.

What You Get

  • A 16-Week Introductory Program
  • A 12-Week Advanced Program
  • Flexible Assistance Work
  • A Full 30 Minutes of Exclusive Video Content


 

As I enter the second half of my career as a strength athlete (the bigger half), I'm more dedicated than ever before to excelling as a coach. Every person who follows my programming helps in that regard, and I want to help, too — so if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to email me.
