ive trained the classic ppl, for around a month, then went to a dorian yates style training and split for a month then a half, now been doing fbeod for a month, so been training for around 3-4 months total, though around 2 years ago i did train for 6 months doing pretty much every split u can imagine.

I have 2 questions about your training. If you enjoy benching then why isn’t bench your main chest movement? Also why are you not training to failure? I terms of your soreness, you need to look at recovery. Maybe your not sleeping well enough or eating enough food to recover from these movements.

I am on a cut since I started my gym journey overweight so eating around 2000 calories, sleep is not the best I probably get around 6 hours a night, if chest is a tiny bit sore, is it still safe to train or leave it till the next session?

I do train to failure, only on bench press I don’t. Find it harder to push to failure on bench press, since there’s not really any spotters and it’s easier to go to failure on machines

Have you watched the videos that explain the relationship between volume and frequency ?

no i didnt, i just watched it and im guessing since im still a newbie so ill only need one set to complete failure just to cause enough stimulus to the muscle, when i stop progressing my lifts which im guessing is in a while from now thats when ill have to increase volume and etc, right?
