I do 4 different push exercises 2x a week, sometimes flat first sometimes ohp first then incline and dips after those too, why choose one. You probably are overall a weak lifter if you are choosing one.
my core upper body exercises are dips and ohp
then i do both incline and flat bench for extra volume, but i put priority on incline because shoulders and upper chest is more aesthetic IMO
Flat barbell bench because I enjoy it and I can keep track of my strength that way. Incline DB bench and ATG weighted dips for hypertrophy but it really depends on your shoulder mobility if these are good for you.
The day after the very first time I tried reverse grip bench press I got the most insane upper pec doms.
It's also much safer on the shoulders and builds the shit out of the triceps.
go in a fricking rack.
Or just use dbs.
Regardless, the bar path is a straight line above your nipples, you cannot press towards your neck like a regular bench.
So it's safe.
Both
>inb4 “le both!”
Flat: if you are a novice or a powershitter
Incline: if you can flat bench at least 2pl8
post body
Why, what do you look like
>those love handles
Time to cut
Alright, your turn
are you single?
>buzzwords with no real argument
At least you posted body, but your chest is lackluster so opinion discarded
If you’re doing OHP, flat bench is more important than Incline. And you should be doing OHP
Are you suggesting I don’t have to incline bench if I OHP?
You don't have to do anything, anon.
Both ofc, your pecs are divided in upper and lower
i focus on incline now because i did flat+dips for years and now my pecs kinda look like shit

Flat, because you don't need even more shoulder involvement.
4 sets dumbbell flat bench
3 sets incline bench machine
3 sets pec deck
has given me an incredibly mediocre chest

Reverse grip dumbbell floor press, but unironically

a little off topic but how do you guys get into position when doing db incline press on heavier weights?
I'd either lift the first db by myself and have someone give me the second, or power clean them and carefully sit down on the bench.
>Flat barbell bench
>Incline dumbbell bench
The ultimate combo.
Incline bench makes my shoulders click. I'm doomed to no-upper chest mode

Thanks anon I prefer to be guillotine'd than the slow clicking damage
