If you don't do Incline Bench Press shame on you

[Mr210]

Incline is harder for me than flat

 

[Maddmike]

Funny this came up...I've always did fb first in my routine, but just made the adjustment yesterday that I was going to start doing inclines first.

I used to do incline a lot; but football fukked my shoulders up. I can still do incline; but I have to warm up my shoulders and rotator cuffs really good.

I know a guy in my gym who is so paranoid about getting gyno he only does incline,his chest looks a bit weird too. Personally I believe people should work do a full chest workout, I notice these days with modern bodybuilders they don't have that full chest look the 70's bodybuilders have I think because the shoulders and back are so massive on them , yet another reason I prefer the 70's look. If you look at arnold for instance his chest sticked out much more and it seemed more proportionate.

Yes,only exercise I don't do is Decline,I see no need for it

 

[Originalgangsta317]

Might be a dumb question but what makes it harder than FB?

Think less leverage,and you lifting at an angle

 

[Originalgangsta317]

I see no reason why it shouldn't be part of your routune unless your shoulders are really fuked up.

Also I have heard people said that flat bench and decline are too similar. And I would rather do dips then decline.

But what are your guys thoughts on decline bench?

Yea incline should always be done.

Decline,is the easiest,but the shyt feels so fukkin weird,I hate decline and never do it

 

[Originalgangsta317]

I tried decline with bar once and that shyt was scary and very uncomfortable..I do hammer strength decline and dips.

Yea fukk decline,only do Flat and Incline breh

 

[Originalgangsta317]

I never do incline shyt is a waste of time IMO. I just do flat on the bench or with dumbbells

How is incline a waste of time?

 

[Originalgangsta317]

I did incline only for 2 yrs and never touched a flat bench, got to where I could do 225 for like 3-5 reps and 105 DBs for like 3-4 reps, did flat bench for the first time in years a few months ago and was doing 295-300 for 3 reps and probably could get 315 max.

I`m going to try alternating Incline on one day and Flat on other day.

Exactly what I do breh,I do flat one day and incline anothert,doing incline,gets your flat bench stronger

How is incline a waste of time?

Foh nikka I already explained why it is for me hence IMO that I know your stupid ass saw and don't come with no stupid shyt if you truly want an answer. Stupid nikkas I tell ya.

 

[Originalgangsta317]

I prefer incline DB, personally

Yes you can never go wrong with dumbbells

 

[Originalgangsta317]

I get the same results from just flat bench and I'm not doing it for looks so I don't use it. I'm bias because any strength coaches or even stuff I've read online say you don't need all of that to grow. Now don't get me wrong I see cats do it and they have nice bodies but for me I choose not to do it. I also only do about 4/5 barbell exercises anyway so there's that to take into account.

Nah,Incline makes you flat way stronger breh,but to each his own

 

[Originalgangsta317]

I don't need to because I do flat bench press + overhead press.
The flat benchpress will hit almost all the same muscles as an incline and the overhead press works the remaining muscle and more.

No it won't,you won't get that upper part of the pecs to pop out if you not doing incline breh

 

[Originalgangsta317]

Read this thread last night and did inclines this morning at the gym. Got 105 5 times. Could have went up to 110 or 115 but I didnt have a spotter and almost dropped one of the Dumbbells on me while getting into position so I called it quits after that.

Don't give up breh

 

[Originalgangsta317]

I gave up on ever doing respectable numbers on FB. My incline benching has been steadily climbing.

3x10x170 yesterday

Good shyt,keep going.

Your flat bench will get much stronger
