Need help on weight lifting schedual!!!

[GatorHunter]

I recently acuired a buddy to lift with and he has lifted off and on nothing steady so I wanted to give him one of my work outs with less weight but I think its to much what do you guys think? Anyhelp changes etc.....PLEASE!
Bench 190lbx8x8
incline 190lbx8x8
decline190lb8x8
thats most of the chest I gave him for start. I can elaborate on anything you need me to just need help dont want to do the wrong thing and he is strong and wants more power.

I would rather do

Incline Barbell Press
Flat Dumbell
Weighted Dips

as opposed to 3 barbell movements.

24 sets of chest? Wow...That is a ton to me...and I am on cycle!

Try 3x8 or even 4x8...You shouldn't need that many sets.

Yeah, you might want to take it easy on him for a few weeks to let him get used to hitting it again. 24 sets is a lot and maybe he can't do that much weight, either. I'd have him try 135# and see how he does. Go up from there. Also......see Musketeer's post.

youll be burnt out after a week...

do chest 2x a week, once 5x5 or 4x6, then a second time of 10x3 with either 50% of your max for speed, or 80% of your max for strength

p.s. squat and deadlift more

Great help guys I usually do a lot for strength and I thought he could do my sets but with less weight. But I agree that he needs to start with low reps I think he will have no problem with 190. 190 isnt a whole lot of weight really for him he is 185 and about 5'8" so he has a good build for it and he had benched 300 somethin near their or so. I am gonna try and give karma to all!!!! Thanks for the help very much and feel free to throw in anything else I can help this guy with he is a good friend and I dont want him to not suceed in his goal wich is strength and size.
