So I’ve been working out for years, but I have been doing CrossFit. I like CrossFit, but in the area I recently moved to it’s just not the best for me ($, commute to gym, etc).

So now I’m on my own for the first time in awhile. I like to lift, and that’s what I want to mainly focus on on my own.

I would also like to still incorporate oly lifts. Perfect regimen for me would include squats, deadlift, cleans, jerks, snatches. As far as body weight exercises I’d still like to do pull-ups. For cardio, I usually run outside by my house.

I have relatively good strength (400+ squat, 500+ deadlift, 225 snatch, 285 clean and jerk), so I don’t need something geared towards beginners. I just haven’t had to program for myself in awhile and am kind of lost.

A Texas Method variant might work for you. You're lifting a fair amount of weight, so linear probably isn't in the cards for you.

It includes Olympic lifts, and has some flexibility in it. I'll link an article with the base template and tweaks.

I'm running a Texas Method variant right now. I don't do Oly lifts, but my squat and dead are fairly close to yours (530 dead, 405+ squat).

One thing I like is customizing as you go further. I tapped myself out trying to PR every week, so I alternate dead/squat week to week and have had about 2 months straight of tying or breaking a PR.

I also do strongman stuff and the basic flexibility of it makes it easy to pick your own exercises.

I do a 8 week old beagle push pull leg core routine..... it’s the same as push pull leg core but with an 8 week old beagle ripping your Achilles’ tendon out while you exercise.
