This is a 3x per week bench routine but built around hitting every body part over the week.

This isn't far off from the bench template I'm following (and that has given me the best results).

Mondays are my hypertrophy/volume day. The major difference is I use Wed for speed/recovery. Friday is my power day, with a single amrap set with heavy (for me) weights.

3x a week is a good frequency for me. I go hard on squats and strongman, so Wed works best as a low intensity day, but other than that, I'm pretty close to this template.

The recommended 'day 3 - power' for this doesn't seem right.

5 x 1 @ 80% 1RM just doesn't seem like much.

so what other lifts do you do? Just your normal stuff, and what are the rep ranges for your other body parts?

It may all be in the article but I just skimmed over it.

eta;: Yeah it did!

quote:

For middle delts, choose two different middle-delt exercises like wide-grip upright rows and dumbbell lateral raises for 3 sets of 8-10.
For triceps, choose 2-3 exercises done for 8-12 reps.
For biceps, choose 2-3 exercises for 8-12 reps.
For back and legs, train with 3-4 exercises for 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps.

I do GSLP do one week is twice and the next is once. I used to do a program that demanded 3 days of bench. Go to he too much. I couldn’t recover fast enough.
