You dont have to up the number of reps to get more volume. Look at my bench training now, huge volume but usually just triples.
matthew you may like the style of bench training i am doing, i would change it for a raw lifter, something like:
day 1
3 board presses - up to 3rm in 10lbs increments (6-10 sets)
2 board presses - up to 3rm in 10lbs increments (6-10 sets)
CG presses- 5-6 heavy singles
rack lockouts (to get used to heavier weights)
day 2
2 board presses - up to 3rm (6-10 sets)
1 board presses - up to 3rm (6-10 sets)
decline presses - up to 5rm
workouts take a long time, but i am seeing fantastic gains with this style of training. Takes a good month to get used to the stupid volume.
