I did the entire program and gained a solid 20 lb on bench. Has anybody tried this program before? Any thoughts / opinion?

no, but I have a feeling that program will make you bench slow

no, but I have a feeling that program will make you bench slow

slow? why do you say that?

 

[coolcolj]

well its basicly progressive resistance cycle with heavy weights

 

[IronLion]

my opinion: that is an awful program
why: progressive resistance doesn't work after you have trained for a couple of years
a side note 3 sets of 8 tricep ext. is not going to make you bench 500 lbs or 400 even.

What do you guys suggest for a better bench press program?

 

[TheOak84]

im gonna try the benchpress part, butim throwing in incline and dips for sure.. im basically gonna keep my current rouitine, just change the benchpress part.. i have a feeling it would work

Also, I just came off of this program, what kind of program do you guys suggest me to do now? Should I hop into another bench press program? Please advice.

what's more important?

building a BIG chest? or building a BIG bench?

To get bigger you must lift heavy weights.

To move big weights you have to practice moving heavy weights.

Lift heavy, get big, and smile

at this point, I want strength. But I just came off of the program, should I do another one right away? if so, what kind do you suggest?

This program has been around for years. I remember reading the article of of muscle media in 1994. When I was a junior in high school, I gave it a try and ended up increasing my max by 25lbs.

you could always try an 8week periodization PL bench program. they're easy to follow, you don't need to carry around a chart in shit

4weeks hypertrophy
4weeks strength

then there's always WESTSIDE (very complicated).
