Bench Press
Chest · Arms · Shoulders
The highest-load horizontal press — your main driver of chest and triceps strength.
4 × 6 · RPE 8 · Full gym
Start from a proven split, read why it is structured that way, then swap, add or reorder movements until the session is yours. Every exercise carries the reason it earns its place.
Every muscle is grouped by the job it does: pressing muscles train together, pulling muscles train together, and the lower body gets its own day. That means a muscle is never hit hard two days in a row, so each session starts fresh and recovery lands where it should. Run it once through for three days a week, or twice for six.
Best for: Building muscle with high weekly volume · 3–6 sessions / week
