My goal with push-ups is to gain reps and build muscular endurance, and while I've found success with greasing the groove, I have abandoned bench pressing so it doesn't interfere with my recovery. But I'd love to increase my strength on the bench press.
Pavel Tsatsouline recommends only greasing the groove two movements and their variations. I wonder if the bench press and push-ups are similar enough that you could get away with greasing the groove for them both. But since my goals for each movement are different, ultimately I want to know if it'd be possible to grease the groove push-ups for muscular endurance by doing half the amount of reps I'm currently capable of throughout the day, and at the same time, grease the groove bench press no more than 5 reps per set for strength throughout the day. Theoretically shouldn't this be possible if I'm avoiding failure and fatigue and staying fresh all day?
I can do this because I have my own home bench and Olympic weight set.
