Is this a good bench workout?

I do 150 3 reps per set and I do 5 sets intotal I do 15 reps from each 5 sets I did that consist of 3 reps per set. Ive been told this is a bad wokrout for your chest and I do this every other 3 days mon, wed, friday. Should I drop the weight? Or keep at it ?

If you're looking for strength I see nothing wrong with what you're doing, if you're going for size, than raise the reps to 10, and lower the weight.

I would change it up almost everytime. Sometimes more reps or less and sometimes more sets or less and change up the weight.

wow goldy i love your math lol. Like others have said, if you are trying to gain size try like 3 sets of 8-12 reps. Its really that simple.
