Stick to triples on the bench and at most sets of 5 on the auxiliary exercises(dumbell bench, incline bench ect) get one day rest in between workouts, and for pete's sake DO SQUATS AND DEADLIFTS. these are KEY to getting testosterone released in the body. for example, do mon:bench day tue: REST (ab work) wed:heavy leg day (squat OR deadlift) wed: REST(ab work) and so on so forth. Every 2 or three weeks take an OFF week, by off I mean, light workout week to work on the speed of the lifts and to rest the tendons. This is VERY important.

I have never had any luck with doing singles or triples, I am glad that you mention that people need to allow tendons to heal as the one thing that does happen when you max out with an exercise a few times is that all the connectors to the main muscle (tendons, secondary muscles) take a lot of stress I never do deadlifts but yes you are right those are a great exercise for full body strength and a great all around number that will really show a weak core muscle group.

But with what i don't agree is that there is 1 more number that people look at. The DEADLIFT. I also dont agree that you should lift in the 6-8 rep range to gain 100 pounds onto your bench press. You should be doing triples and singles and doubles to get your max up. You should also have light weeks but you should never just not bench. Say if you want to do light week, just do 8 sets of 3 with really light weight to build speed and let your tendons rest for the rest of that week. I do believe that muscle and fitness screwed everyones brains. Not mine but most. You make a good point in nutrition. I agree with the resting situation. You dont have to take creatine even though your gains will just about double. i agree with you for the most part. But with what i don’t agree is that there is 1 more number that people look at.
