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.

Lat Pulldown 1x8 110, 1x8 130, 1x8 150

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.

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.

Yeah. I’m starting to implement the 3x8 scheme for my accessories as the Rippler comes to an end. I’m going to be watching your posts to see how you’re implementing the program you linked, and see what accessories you’re selecting

Today:

Squat 1x5 165, 1x3 215, 3x5 255

Rope Curl 1x8 85, 1x8 95, 1x8 110

Rope Tricep 1x8 85, 1x8 95, 1x8 110

Fly Machine 1x8 140, 1x8 155, 1x8 170

Preacher Curl 1x8 75, 1x8 85, 1x8 100

Overhead Tricep Extension 1x8 75, 1x8, 85, 1x8 90

Decline abs 3x8 increasing angle each set

Arm Blaster EZ Bar Curls 3x8 75 (guy left his arm blaster for the gym, so I had to give it a ride)

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.
