Bench or Chest?

Are you wanting a bigger chest or a stronger Bench?

So a mate of suggested 8/5/3 to me and it defo worked so it was 8 reps 5 sets once a week but dips later in the week with over head pressing for 4 weeks then 5 reps for 4 weeks then triples for 3 weeks . but bench was just flat bench then tricep and Delts the next chest day in the week was ohp/decline bench and dumbbells. It work well for me :-)

Yes.

What are:

your goals
your training experience
your training situation
your strengths and weaknesses

if you don't mind me asking?

You know I think it is a few of my friends have done exactly this and I have to :/ I think its to do with you CNS when your working with lower reps your weights are going to be higher and if your going heavy on all lifts on every exercise your CNS won't recover this is just my view and I'm no expert but what I tend to do is go 8 for volume 5 a middle ground 3 for all out strength reps then deload for a week then go for 1rm. So say i m doing deadlift and I'm trying to build it up I'd put bench on a back burner maybe do 6>8 x5 but dealift 5/3/1 if you get me so your CNS isn't taxed all over. Having said that I am a bit of an ape when it comes to all this but I watch some of the big lifter at my gym and this what they do :-) :-)

I have see good progression in my bench lately, I've been doing

Wednesday

bench 3x5 80% max
strict press 5x8 60% max
rear delt raise & other accessories

Sunday

strict press 3x5 80% max
bench 5x8 60% max
rear delt raise & other accessories

nothing exciting but its working, gone from 117.5 to 125 (estimated 130 based on reps) in 6 weeks

If my squat was equal to my bench, I'd want to focus on my squat.
