Mass x Operator Combo

TLDR - have been lifting and running for several years and following the TB principals for a long time. Absolutely fantastic. I’ve not yet got TB3 as waiting to get it on kindle.

I find my bench is stalling. I’ve added dips and OHP in different cycles and combinations/rep schemes and yet over time it remains the same.

My squat and deadlift etc I find still comfortably able to progress over time ( alongside running and HIC)

I’m toying with the idea of running a Mass style programme just for my bench press - alongside dips. I’d combine this with Operator/ Operator Pro for my squats and DL. Plan is first and last training days are bench press with MS Bravo style rep schemes. Middle day I OHP keeping it Operator rep scheme. All lower body lifts on the typical three day split with Operator (DL 1 set per session as opposed to all sets on 1 day - I prefer this).

Just seeing if anyone has had fun with this? I know I can run a typical MP protocol with Alpha but I like 3 : 3 strength and cardio.

Cheers
