DUP: Next block with less reps per set - how to adjust volume (number of sets) ?

Dean? Waiting on you.

Sorry, I could log in but not allowed to do anything...that was odd.

Anyway, I’m 5’10”, 225lbs and 50 years old. May 2019 will be 3 years of continuous lifting. 96% last week was 355lbs on bench. I set a PR 3 weeks ago at 365lbs. I plan to set a new PR either Friday or next week. If you are genuinely curious as to my progress, I will gladly keep you up to date.

Thanks for taking the time to engage with me.

FWIW - I’m simply trying to share a piece of my story in the off chance that it helps someone else. I have no ulterior motives.

Missed one question: I spend around 30 min benching each day including warm ups.

[Mark Rippetoe]

That's a pretty good bench press.

Thank you Mark.

[Mark Rippetoe]

Sure, Dean.
