I dunno about any program per se. I just pyramid my lifts, be they bench, deads or whatever. I figured out my one rep max, the started with 70% of that adding 5-10 pounds per set. Three or four sets for a couple of sessions, then add 5 pounds to the starting weight and repeat. Yes, I do stall, yes I will get fustrated, yes it does take a bit of time. But so far this has been working for me. I am not trying to get to any world records, just trying to see where it goes over a reasonable amount of time. I know actual weight lifted is a measure of success and progress, but it could also be a downer. If you fall into the 40+ crowd, you have to train twice as long as a 20 year old kid to make the same gains.
