Reply With QuoteHard to say if you’d be leaving gains on the table or not. A 10% off set might be good, 5% might be better, it’ll depend on how much you’re benching and how efficient (and how male) you are. Try it and see how it goes.

Hypothetical medium day hlm press question
If a lifter were to use just at 10% of heavy day rather than incline or close grip would gains be left on the table, if a lifter were able to be content with sticking with the core 5 lifts?

I think that would be a fine alternative to using a modified version of the lift. You may have to get creative with set/rep schemes to keep progress going, but sticking to the main lifts can still drive lots of progress.
