How many times are you going to post bullshit questions and then shit on the advice that is offered?

to answer your question... every other day at most. but dont neglect your legs and dont be a pansy about squats, no pads and go down till your knees are atleast at 90. i used to do about 30x5 a week with my old coach, and i gained 50 pounds on my 1RM every 4 months, so that works well. so basicly do a 10x5 mwf. and eat like your a fat man like me

. food is friendly. other then that just focus on compound lifts, like bench deadlift and squat, leave the little lifts for your off days as much as you can.

10X5 on bench every other day? WOW.

If you want to increase your bench, do a 5*5 program.....(but I think you knew that)

I agree with Talo on the 5x5 for the bench but you also need to squat and deadlift as heavy as possible.

	Eric3237's Sig:"Not everyone trains for strength": True. Not everyone one is smart either. Personally, I'm training to be an olympic sprinter so I can have big legs. I also like to move huge boulders because I like the way they look over there...

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
