Flat Bench vs. Incline....share your opinion....

[NoCalBbEr]

I think that people in general should start with incline b/c thats seems to be the most lagging bodypart on most people and even the pros.  somepeople let their ego get in the way of building a compete chest by starting with flats first and by the time they get to incline they're out of gass.

I did this too. I would get up to 315-365 and when I get to incline DB press. my chest was already dead. so, I changed to more of a "bodybuilding routine" by doing inclines then flat bench. I use to train power-building style were you did all compounds first.

Anything under 6 years is a beginner, right?

no, you should be able to learn the basics in a few months. there is no accepted definition of a beginner...but certainly not 6 years. (why would anyone go to the gym for years without learning the basics???)
