Flat vs Incline

[JackTheRipper]

It depends on the person tbh, I avoid inclines because they just make my front delts bigger, they don't do anything for my chest at all

yeah but as wrote by people on the thread, it depends on the angle.
most Gyms have set benches at too high an angle in my opinion.

I'm weird in the sense that my upper pecs are dominant, but i need more lower chest, I always need more lower chest, but I got plenty of upper chest

You should try hanging by your neck with a noose.  Cinch it real tight and let your feet hang at least 6 inches to activate the lower pecs.

 

Pamith this is a joke. It does not activate your pecs,  this exercise may lead to death. Stop pming for sets and reps.

Hahahhahaha. Pamith it works trust me. Dave sent me this routine a few years back. Follow it to the T.

Reg Park said where you lower the bar in a flat bench determines the muscle concentration.

To hit the upper chest he said to lower the bar to the neck.

If you do this use very light weights.

I have to agree

Use very light weight.

Like the behind neck press, if you are not used to it you have to start light and build up gradually.

Most people cannot even get an empty bar to the neck because they are too tight.

or not do them at all
Fucks sake military press is bad enough, now you want people to do PBN 

talk about asking for trouble

Now don't get your knickers all in a twist about it.

you are correct in that most people, including myself have poor flexiblity in the shoulders.

Try decines to the neck,but go light and do higher reps......to me this is the only way declines are effective......just my 3 CC`s !!

Everyone is different.  Since I switched to behind the neck presses on a smith machine I've had zero neck issue and zero shoulder pain.  Granted, I don't go heavy and focus more on the pump but I used to constantly tweak shit doing them to the front or even with dumbells.

I guess I'll ditch the btn smith presses.  I don't want to turn black.

The pectorals contract differently if you bring your arm down and across vs bringing your arm across your body at collarbone level.  Try it in a mirror.

I think flat bench/dips build more chest mass overall but incline work is important too

Dude...

Yeah I agree flat or dips are superior mass builders but I'm not after big hanging tits like Arnold
