you could try the rip fast programme
6 to 8 reps at the heaviest you can do
then drop the weight to 70% and rep out to fail
then dropped the weight to 50% and rep out to fail
do a month of this you will see gains
I have been doing this for a couple of months now,and i have gone up to 110k on the chest press to start then 90k and 80k to fail,it does really give you a massive chest workout
I also do this with shoulders again my strength has gone through the roof,
