I get what you are saying and I notice the same thing. But yes thats exactly what I did over a 7 month period. It is very squat centric obviously(compared to upper body) but the reasons he gives for including the OHP in the book are sound(which decreases the amount you bench and vice versa). I mean look at PLTW novice powerlifting program where you only bench because it is specific to powerlifting for example. My experience of productive lifting period really isnt that much ive run a shortened starting strength(and a short stint with a 5/3/1 variation before and the BFS program in high school. So really i started from square one when I got to those numbers.
What was your bench at the start of that 7 month period?
