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

Flat bench uses the back as helper muscles. You have more leverage while lying flat on your back. Incline bench isolates the chest more and uses more of the shoulders as helper muscles more than the back.

I used to do dumbbell incline for a good while, then recently switched to barbell incline, and I can definitely feel it hitting my upper chest way more.

I flat bench daily and do incline every second workout. I need to start throwing decline in.

I dont think I could bring the bar to my chest with closer grip. Mite just be time to switch to dumbbells.

Is there an advantage to a rep range for incline in combination to flat? For example, heavier weight lower reps for incline, lighter weight more reps for flat? Vice Versa?
