There's literally 0 reason to do this lift unless you're powersharting or have no access to better equipment
>shit for aesthetics(b***h breasts)
>dangerous
>only slightly better strength gains compared to superior chest exercises
Even rippebreasts says it's the most discardable exercise in his program and the only reasons he still shills it is because of "no dips since muh barbell program" and "no incline bench since muh non-bodybuilding program".
keep yapping dyel
It's fun tho
incline is funer
have a nice day
lmao not even that guy but i'm glad people are getting wise of this useless ego lift mashallah
>blaming THE Shoulder/chest building exercise that's also very fricking fun to do
>>shit for aesthetics(b***h breasts)
the frick do you mean by that? ever considered that maybe you're a beer drinking slob and EXERCISE isn't the problem?
Isn't like 90% of the exercises that require proper form? the frick are you doing here
>>only slightly better strength gains compared to superior chest exercises
seriously what the frick are you doing here
omg so true bestie
Bruh..you're just too idiot to understand sorry XD
Being a beer slob would actually look less cringe than the overdeveloped lower pecs that the bench gives
gr8 b8 dyel
zoomers don't actually talk like this btw
Never said I'm a zoomer, moron, I'm millenial
>I'm millenial
no wonder you're a single-mother-raised beer drinking slob, what's your favorite vape flavor?
>too moronic to not get -ACK'd by a barbell bench
>too butthurt over getting brutally mogged by some fat boomer repping out 150% of your max
zoomtard hours
I can lift alot on Flat Bench
What's the point?
It's way easier than Incline
How much?
And besides, of course it's easier than incline, that's the point.
People tend to set their incline too high anyways, and also equally -ACK their shoulders by going too wide and lifting like a spastic.
On flat bench the same happens often but at least you can tuck your shoulders and arch slightly to protect yourself, that in combination with not going max width grip and you won't hurt yourself.
acking your shoulders is one thing, decapitating yourself with failed rep is another
>can't set a safety pin correctly
in that case, you deserved it
To be fair, for beginners it doesn't matter.
Bench is easier to load and micro load, it has an easier form, least impact on your ohp, and every gym has a bench.
Rocket past your novice phase, then decide for yourself.
They all have some drawback.
>least impact on your ohp
How is it impacting your OHP if you're supposed to take at 1 day rest between?
Muscles, if you actually overload them, are supposed to take 3 or 4 days to be ready for the next workout, and while giving more time risks slight detraining, giving less press you into slight overworking. And we know that's what happens on SS and other 3/week beginner routines.
It works great (since otherwise with a lower frequency beginners would be under worked), but you gotta know what to expect.
It's funny the guys who write this kind of stuff are always small, weak, and new to lifting.
if you can bench your bodyweight for reps you're set. anything else is exttra
redpill me on just doing 8-9x sets of regular bench press for chest. I am sick and tired of doing 3-4 different lifts just to try to hit the """"upper""" chest r some other angle.
There's is no upper chest, there are different genetics and insertions.
The question is only how much delt involvement you want on your chest exercise, and that depends on how you structured your program
I frick up my shoulders everytime I try to learn incline bench press. I tried everything over the years, from 10° angle to 40°, db's, barbells', not flaring out my shoulders etc. No matter what I do I frick up my shoulders. At this point I am about to give up and just do mass amount of regular bench press.
set a 15-30 degree incline
use a medium width grip
the bar path isn't straight, you tuck slightly too
Tried everything. its not like I am a beginner. I can easily do 120kg for a few reps on regular bench press. I tried every single angle available, tried coaches, filming my sets and analyzing them. At this point I give up. I accept that certain exercises are shoulder snappers for some people.
>for some people.
no, for all people. there is no anatomically correct way to bench, your shoulders have to move and they're locked up against the bench. there's no secret technique here.
>what are sternal and clavicular pectoralis
Also delts are only slightly more involved in incline.
>There's is no upper chest
Lift your right arm up so that it is parallel with your shoulder.
Place your left hand on your right pectoral, near the shoulder.
Move your right arm horizontally in that parallel plane.
Congratulations, you've discovered your upper chest.
But presses don't work it very well. Cable flies with a strap around your upper arm (so that you don't use forearm+ bicep) is the way to go.
Bench press is an excellent compound lift and excercises several large muscle groups at once. Men have most of their strength in the upper body, why wouldn't you do the lift that excercises the upper body the most?
Reminder that BP was invented by Homofornians and that all powershitters have busted shoulders and elbows from benching. It's the designated lift for gay morons.
I don’t know wether to laugh or cry that the 165 bench press I was working with yesterday would completely bury OP. He wouldn’t have made this thread otherwise
i benched 205 for reps today
Shit tier b8
