question about Prilepin cycle

I found this program when surfing around, it is a squat cycle designed by A.S. Prilepin...

1. 8x3x65% w/1:00 rest
2. 8x3x70% w/2:00 rest
3. 8x3x75% w/2:00 rest
4. 6x3x80% w/2:00 rest
5. 5x2x85% w/3:00 rest
6. 2x80/85/90% w/5:00 rest
7. compete

and the one for DL goes like this:

1. 15x1x65% w/1:00 rest
2. 12x1x70% w/2:00 rest
3. 10x1x75% w/2:00 rest
4. 8x1x80% w/3:00 rest
5. 6x1x85% w/3:00 rest
6. 4x1x90% w/3:00 rest
7. compete

My question is, since there is no cycle listed for the bench press, is it OK to use the same sets/reps as the squat cycle for the BP?
