The hell with flat bench...

[BullFX]

i never do decline actually... i really never noticed gaining shit from it... BIG GNUS , are u sayin that from your personal experience?

no disrespect bro, but decline is just too weird for me.. too much blood goes to my face i feel like im gona blow up lol and i dont feel the chest much... now i didnt spend much time on it though so i might be wrong

i have not done flat bench barbell in 6 monthz for my chest. i feel as if it is a waste. I prefer incline, or flat DB

I think incline barbell and dblz and flys are the best IMO, but some matchines are also good to do once a while to finish things up... but one thing i dont understand is why trainers constantly tell people to do flat bench... i even heard its as important as doin squats for legs is to do flat bench for chest..

Dumbells are the key to being hard, ripped and lean. I never use the barbell unless i do curls.

Flat bench is just an ego lift. I like incline and flat dbs. If I do flat bbs I make sure to use good form no arching.

I agree, Incline bench really isolates my pecs, flat bench good warm up excersice.

This belongs in the training section

I use flat DB bench. I hate flat BB bench. If I do flat BB bench, after a few weeks my rotator cuff starts causing me a bit of pain...

care to explain your reasoning behind this? im curious on why you say that

Decline works the biggest majority of your chest. I just put it back in the rotation and I tellya, I got SORE!

I agree, I would also think that inclines would bring the shoulders into it even more than flat bench. I think the key to building a good chest is to continuously change up your exercises and routines. I don't believe in any "magical" exercise for any bodypart the body quickly adapts to routine behavior.

i hit incline and but i dont do flat unless the peck deck counts, hehehe....

[flexing23]

I always add incline, decline and, flat but uselly do flat last cause its such an ego thing.

[Submission1]

For me flat bench is all about the ego. Don't get me wrong, I still do it, but once I reach my goal and actually get 315 up, I'm going to focus entirely on upper chest & inclines.

I prefer inclines and declines better.

Personally I tend to feal my shoulders come into play more on incline than flat but I do both. I switch around which I do first eveytime I work chest.
