So what's a good routine to follow?
Go through 6-8 week cycles of lifting heavy for 6-8 sets for 2-3 reps. You should be strugglling to get the weight up after that 3rd-4th set.
Then, once you begin to plateau, move down to 4 sets of 4-8 reps at a slightly lighter weight. What I have experienced during the lighter weight cycles is that approaching weeks 7-8 my bench for that lighter weight is the same weight I was struggling with when I was going through the heavy cycles.
Just make sure you increase the weight by 5lbs. after every 1-2 weeks.
Works for me so far.
