If you are wanting to optimise hypertrophy as the primary goal I would basically remove the initial 8 x 3 exercises on each training day and replace it with a 3 x 8 in the appropriate sequence. So in this specific scenario I would use the following sets and reps: 4x6 3x8 2x12 For example: Chest 4 x 6 DB Incline Bench Press 3 x 8 DB Flat Bench Press 2 x 12 Low Incline DB Flyes Shoulders 4 x 6 Bradford Press 3 x 8 Seated DB Shoulder Press 2 x 12 DB Lateral Raises If you are wanting to improve both strength speed as well as maximal strength with some hypertrophy then I would maintain the original protocol but use an explosive lift as the first exercise in the sequence. For example: Chest 8 x 3 Band Bench Press 4 x 6 Incline Bar Bench Press 2 x 12 Dips Shoulders 8 x 3 Push Press 4 x 6 Seated DB Shoulder Press 2 x 12 DB Lateral Raises
