What am in for if i ditch the flat bench press and continue to only do incline bench press and dips for my chest? For some reason i feel the pump better on the incline bench.

      Just do flat bench barbell, incline dumbell, weighted dips and cable flies.

              Frick. I’ve only been here 15 years now. But surely it gets more enjoyable at some point, right? Is there a bright future here?

              Making paragraphs for single sentences is fricking moronic, reddit or not.

                What actually happens is that it looks good in the quick reply window. Seething over it is trying too hard to fit in. The only time it's offensive is when it's blatantly obvious like when they give a space after quoting the post number.

                Also your jihad against this is off topic and belongs on /b/ really.

    A great many bodybuilders avoid the flat bench entirely. If that's your goal and training style, you'll be fine.

      I think flat bench makes you use your front delts and tris more

    Just rotate lifts. Do incline half the year, do flat the other half. Or switch lifts after each deload, every 4-6 weeks or so.

    Flat bench hurts my shoulders if I go heavy. I switched to do incline db bench as my primary lift and i go light on the flat bb bench for high reps. Works well if you dont care about strength.

    You are in for much better overall chest development and your shoulders will thank you down the line. Just experiment with many angles of incline. even just the lowest incline so just a very very slight incline is superior to a flat bench.

    Incline activates your upper chest ever so slightly more, but the consequence is giving up the massive stimulus on your sternal head, shifting a bunch more strain onto your shoulder, and forcing you to use overall less weight. For all round chest building, flat bench is better. All people are really saying when they say “incline is better for aesthetics” is that since you frick over your middle/lower chest growth, you’ll end up with a disproportionately small lower chest relative to your upper chest, thereby changing the shape to a more “aesthetic” one but fricking long term overall growth if you don’t already have a somewhat developed chest. Decline bench is moronic though.

    I ditched flat bb and do flat db+incline bb now.
    It's the best.
    I do around 10-15 degrees. Higher and it's more front delts FOR ME.
    That is the key TRY THINGS OUT and see what works to stimulate the muscle.

    Dips suck for chest the people pushing that shit are dyels who got filtered by a 155lb bench. Your chest isn't doing shit during a dip, there's no contraction. Even chest dips just shift load to your shoulders. Do incline press + low-to-high cable fly, it will be much better for your chest. Dips are for triceps.
