Torn pec muscle is nothing nice.

Yes, I alternate bench and overhead. When I go heavy (5x5 usually) on one I go medium (3 or 4x8-12) on the other, alternating each workout (heavy bench, medium overhead, then heavy overhead, medium bench, etc).
What I have to really watch is deadlifts. I LOVE dead lifting, 6-8x3, I love heavy triples. I'll fry my CNS if I get carried away so I have to make myself keep the volume low throughout the week.
I hate squats, though. Which is why I've been doing them more than deadlifts. Gotta do the ones you hate, those are the ones you need to be doing.
