I'll be able to go up about 5lbs a week. I'll be back to repping 225lbs in no time in the bench.

Yet again, regress instead of progress :/

could have been a beast by now if this hasn't happened so many times. For god's sake i was benching 195x6 in high school im pretty sure at one point. I graduated college already.

Whatever. Gonna look and perform crazy good by next summer, that's for sure ;)

One reason that it isn't always is done is because of what you say: compount movements will tax the CNS. I bench then row. I'm not supersetting those. Also, it would be hard in my gym. Somebody would most certainly take the bench and "work in" and fuck up my rest times  :raging:

Well I took a two week COMPLETE break from any gym work whatsoever, and I came back and squatted 140 kg with ease (while before that I was struggling mildly). You could argue that the recovery I got during those two weeks was better for my squat than any loss of efficiency that might've happened during that time span.

I could definitely argue that, and I could also argue that you could have squatted MORE than 140kg if you were working up to 90% singles 2-3 days a week during that time :)

fwiw i took 6 weeks off and bench went from 230x5 to 185x6 :(
obviously 6 weeks is too much haha. but in my personal experience, and i have logged this many times, if i take so much as a single week off from lifting, my lifts drop temporarily.

Never thought this would be better, but I have my reasoning for it. At least for me, if I don't perform an exercise for a while then I lose neural strength in it. So I feel like keeping the neural strength in an exercise would be better than changing it up because you could be doing more weight due to your efficiency in that exercise!
