I'd be tempted to do something like:
Monday
Heavy bench + CGBP
Wednesday
Heavy Press + rows
Friday
Medium bench + Incline bench
My question is: wouldn't a program such as this one actually be better described as HMH? Wouldn't it be very hard to recover from? If it isn't that hard, then why is the standard HLM template recommending just 1 UB exercise per day which then seems suboptimal?
