How long do you do this for? Do you start pressing at the heviest weight possible for 5x3? or do you ease into it i,e start at 5kg less than the max weight you could move?
At 80kg, i can get 80kg o/h, but its by far my WEAKEST lift.
It needs help

Personally i'd think, as a novice (someone who can make linear progression every workout- with correct training intensity, food and sleep) would do well if not, dare i say, better on a Starting Strength program. This way your first workouts, for the first two weeks, you can add 2.5kg/3.25kg per workout, and then slow down to 2.5kg/1.25kg per workout. I've seen people progress from 30kg x 3 x 5 to 80kg x 3 x 5 doing it this way. And instead of the weight going up every 7 workouts, it goes up every workout. Not dissing your theory, but i'm saying this alternative (FOR A NOVICE), this one works really well.
I`m going to give it a try.I`ve had a crook shoulder for a while now and have lost a bit of size.Need to build up again so may start with very low weights.

I suppose you could do the press course, a pulling excercise then your bench
or vice versa
I actually get a better upperbody pump with the military press then what i get with bench, and its funner. Havnt trained bench for weeks though i do weighted pushups and weighted dips
I am pretty sure you could apply this training to any lift..
I find this helps me get strong better than 5x5 etc, as trying to increase reps everyweek, is easier than increasing weight every week, esp once I have got up to my max.
while I dont follow the routine to the letter I loosly follow a similar way of training.
