how is candito compared to 531 or texas?

Better
T did texas bulking no gains except squat doing candito on a cut everything going up

Can confirm, had a similar experience. Also, more interesting rep ranges and much higher upper body volume actually gave upper body gains instead of being cursed to giant things and no arms.

How was your squat going up?
I've never gone under 3 times/week on squats.

Also, how often/much can you increase weight on c6w?

It lasts 6 weeks, it's a temporary solution

Do a TM split to give yourself enough upper body volume and you'll do good.

What should my numbers be to be qualified for TM?

As long as you want to do it, you should do it.

Texas is an early intermediate routine.

I'd do candito after milking all possible gains out of TM. 531 is just a suboptimal routine devised for football players.

It's six weeks then you start another six weeks numbnuts.

I just started it coming from Texas Method. Here's how it's going for me

Week 1
>lots of bench press, hard on my shoulders, maybe should switch to weighted dips
>lots of squats, I like that

Week 2
>Wow my shoulders hurt from bench pressing. I'm definitely going to switch to weighted dips
>Get a horrible fever before the first leg day
>feel like I'm about to die from the fever
>holy shit this fever might actually kill me
>please euthanize me
>what did I do to deserve this
>I'm coughing up large chunks of green mucus mixed with blood
>I've never felt so cold in my life
>Am I going to die of hypothermia?
>Shit I missed multiple work outs
>Today is Christmas and I'm still fucking sick

I think Candito's routine gave me a serious fever or a sinus infection. Fuck that skinny little bastard. This fever is killing my gains and ruining my Christmas.

Have you tried benching properly and not having aids

yes and no

Also, I feel that dips hit my chest more than bench. Plus, there is never an issue finding an open dip station at my gym.

>trying to replace bench with dips

Jesus Christ.

What would be a better bench replacement?

Tampon Removals.

5/3/1 if you know what you're doing>Candito>5/3/1 if don't know how to use it>TM. Besides they don't have necessarily the same goal: 5/3/1 is more of a general strength routine, Candito is a powerlifting routine, TM is the bait that follows SS.

>5/3/1 if you know what you're doing

So what is 5/3/1 if you know what you're doing?

have run Candito for over a year now

> squat went up 70lbs
> deadlift went up 60lbs
> bench went up 30lbs (would've gone higher but injured my shoulder a few months back)

good gains but a little light on bench imo

Nothing wrong with TM, it's great if you do the split version with plenty room to program accessories etc. Gains are much MUCH quicker than 5/3/1 that way.

I disagree, had crazy gains on TM but zero on candito in all 3 lifts

kek
also check your form
and vary it with incline/cable fly etc

you add volume to it as needed
the rate of progression of the routine has nothing to do with the rate of progression you will actually experience

if you're a newfag you will get much more than 10lbs/month off of 5/3/1, if you're late intermediate you'll get much less than 20lbs/month off of TM

This desu.

>does well regarded powerlifting/strength routine
>makes zero progress on any of his lifts

Ok buddy.
