Does anyone know if you can do floor press, board press or speed bench on the same day?

Speed bench:
50% 1RM x 3 x 10

Floor press(see my post on the set and rep scheme)

DB Bench
wt x 10 x 3

Shoulder press exercise (you choose)
wt x 10 x 3

Tricep exercise (you choose)
wt x 10 x 3

This workout should take 35-45 min

This is how I set up a week of training without overtraining:
Saturday (Dynamic Effort Bench:72 hours prior to max effort)
Speed Bench
47-60% of 1RM x 3 x 10
35-45 sec TBS

Close grip
315 x 5 x 3
2min TBS

DB Incline
120 x 10 x 3
1.5 min TBS

Standing 1-arm press
50 x 10 x 3
I perform these 1 right after the other until all 3 sets for both arms are done.

Push-downs
140 x 10 x 3
1 min TBS

Tuesday (Max Effort or Strength Effort)
Floor Press
See previous post on this set and rep scheme.
I use this as a max effort exercise on this day. I also use it after speed bench. It depends on how I feel.

DB Bench
150 x 10 x 3
1.5 min TBS

Seated Military (front)
185 x 5
205 x 5
225 x 5
1.5 min TBS

Skull Crusher
135 x 10 x 3
1min TBS

Note: I keep the workouts short so I don't get overtrained. Low quantity, tons of quality.
