A bench press routine means a regular exercise when someone uses the bench press. Bench press is a weight machine where someone picks up a heavy weight and lifts it over their head, repeating until they feel that they are done.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

day 16 1 rep with 315

this is called the russian bench routine wait a day between each work out at least

so day 1 would be monday and day 2 is wednessday. the pattern is 6x2 of 80% of your max on "easy days" then you add a rep in each set on successive "Hard days" until 6x6 then you do 85% of your max 5x5 and back to 6x2 and then you do 4x4 of 90% ect. the reason workout 15 and 16 are optional is because i never do them i would stop after 14 and then for the next week or week and a half keep trying for a new max i would not be surprized if you go from 300 lbs to 350 lbs within a few weeks after completeing this routine... after all that is what i did.... good luck
