Making PB1 more bench focused

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hey guys,

I’ve decided i will just run PB1 again; however, i’d like to make it a bit more bench focused and add a 3rd bench day. I was thinking of replacing the ohp in day 1 with the day 2 back exercise, and then doing a bench variation in the previous ohp slot, kind of like in pb2. Or maybe just simply replacing ohp with the bench variation and keeping the back exercise.

I was thinking of programming this exercise like the other variation in pb1 but by making it a bit lighter. ​​​

E.g
Block 1: 3x10 @8
Block 2 6@9, -5% for 2-3 sets

How does this sound to you guys?

Josh,

I would favor swapping OHP with a bench variation, e.g. floor press, close grip bench, board bench, bench + chains/bands, spoto bench, feet up bench, or similar. I’d keep the rep, RPE, etc. programming the same for this application.
