Depending on your rest period, about 45 min: 5 bench sets, 3 other chest sets and 9 sets on the complimentary muscle group.
I’m running through it differently since I’m doing several other things. Every 3 days or so, which makes it 8 days to complete each Week.
60 days to finish the 6 weeks.

Are you doing squats and deadlift on leg days, or something else? That program looks great for chest work.

Week 11 of the Rippler, and it’s basically a rest week before max week. The only programmed lifts are T1, but I cheated and did accessories with a modified rep scheme today, only skipping the secondary compound lift.

Erratic gym workouts these last few weeks.
Chest
Bench: Warmups, 245x1, 260x1, 275x1, 285x1, 295x1, 305x1
Incline DB Press: 80x8, 85x8, 90x8
Seated tricep machine press: Short warmup, 240x8, 255x8, 270x8
Assisted Dip Tri Pushdowns: 130x8, 140x8, 150x8
Single DB extensions: 90x8x 100x7, 100x7
Those DB extensions were wearing me out at the end. Triceps are blown up.

Strong bench. I’m envious.

I’m 5 lbs up from a few weeks ago and I have only hit bench a few times since.
The program I posted will elevate your weight bench very quickly; especially if you push the percentages every chance you get. Crushing the triceps with max weight also helps you, too.
I’ll probably do the 3rd workout tomorrow in the 4-6 rep range.

Monday: 3x8 Incline DB pullovers
I start with an 85lb DB in set 1 and move up from there
Tuesday: 3x8 Incline DB press
Went 80-85-90 DBs on the 3 sets. I hate the gym’s 85s because someone broke a single 85 and they didn’t buy a pair. The handles are different diameters.
Friday: 3x8 Weighted Dips
Whatever I can handle here.
I’ll stick with those accessory chest lifts the entire program.

im still hitting my program i laid out couple pages back. strength is progressing very well....but man the dips i think are the culprit for my bicep pain...well the fat grip portion and in general all the fat grip stuff i am doing is kinda of playing havoc with it.

The 70's at the gym i go to are like this. I can't use them, i'll either go up to the 75's or drop to 65's.

I usually skip them, too
It’s just very awkward holding them.

I’ve been slacking for a couple of weeks and then took an entire week off for thanksgiving. My sheiko gold app didn’t like that and gave me 14 sets of squat yesterday. It’s been a while since I was this sore.
