Building a Bigger Bench

My goal for the meet in March is to hit a 275 bench. Bench Press has always been a weakness of mine but I have been complacent long enough and it is time to "get a little more serious." After weeks of research I put together a bench program that will hopefully get things moving. Here is a sneak peak of what I've come up with.

DB Bench 

50 x 15
60 x 8
70 x 8
75 x 6
65 x 8

Kroc Rows

50 x 20
60 x 20
65 x 20
60 x 20

Dick Press (flat bench tricep extensions) I want to try and really hit all parts of the triceps to help with my lock out.

35 x 15
25 x 20
30 x 15
20 x 15

Total Weight Lifted = 9,235 lbs

Next week I will have a heavy barbell bench day, followed by a DE bench day the following week. The Program I wrote up cycles these three weeks for a 12 week cycle. I am hoping the extra accessory work will help keep me injury free as well as build a little size in the process.
