Don't know about doing the same workout every chest day.And most will say it's to many set's.I'm not one of those guys though I squeeze as many sets as possible into an hour.

Too many sets in my opinion.....

try to do 3 warm ups and then 2-3 working sets.... just my 2 cents.

No.  I disagree with that.  Maybe for bodybuilding, but not powerlifting.
