are you wanting to get your bench up or are you going more for size?

my bench has always been a problem for me, but i started warming up with decline bench finishing as heavy as i can get 5-6 reps with then going to flat bench and doing the same weight for 6 sets of 5 reps.. every couple of weeks i am adding weight.. feels good man
