Decided to go a different route with my bench yesterday.

There's an old school bench program written by Jeff Maddy (drug free), where he outlines a two month routine that focuses solely on singles only, (not inc. warmups). 
The logic is that it will be more specific to competition than repping out.

And get this....no assistance exercises at all! Never saw the point of them anyway, other than to increase blood flow to area. I mean you've just worked the muscles used in the lift to full (or near) extertion, and then you force yourself to continue with additional work...overkill.  Well, in my case, I think this is possibly true.

And without further adue, find below my training: (video posted later....maybe).
