i'm trying to do this strength/hypertrophy workout
strength...........reps 6-9, rest 4 min
hypertrophy........reps 10, rest 1 min
which workout would be better?

1) push day........train strength for flat bench then hypertrophy for incline...on next push day i train for hypertrophy for flat and strength for incline?

2)push day,..........train strength for entire push routine.....on next push day train for hypertrophy?

i do more than flat and inclines on my push day but i just wanted to keep the example simple......

If you're training for strength, you'll need to work in the 3-6 rep range. For hypertrophy, 6-10 for the most part.

Either one of those methods is totally applicable. I would prefer the first approach. The second one is much like what gopro recommends with his P-RR-S program. Go ahead and try them both out.
