How Big is to big?

[DIVISION]

That's an assload of incline db's Div! I've got a smaller build, narrower shoulders, I don't think I could effectively bench those no matter how jacked I got, they'd just be too damn wide! I hit the 120's for 6 once and that was the best I ever did... You get props just for having the desire to use db's that damn big

Well, the whole point of doing incline DB presses are to widen your chest, shoulders and get the full stretch and extension in your upper pecs. You get the expansion and if you do slow negatives you get that muscle density that flats will never give you. You've got to have the grip strengh and forearm strength, but that comes with time.....Overall it's just a matter of stability and control and the negatives give you the foundation on that. I don't consider it a big deal, I just know my chest loves them, nothing like that tight deep stretch through the pecs and shoulders when you go heavy.....

150 Dbs.........that's the only incline I do.....

I can get the 120's for ten clean (me and the reps)... 150's would be nasty!
I would like to get to 250 lbs at 6 - 7% bf. I'm 6'3". I wasn't too impressed with myself at 240 and 7.5%...
If I don't make it that fine... As long as I can maintain 6 - 7% bf... I love having abs!!!

intimidating women=too big.

It's a fine line, Statsta

Abs aren't possible for me because that low a BF% would kill my strength maxes....and live for strength.

You see......I'm 5'7', so being 250lbs would be off the chain....like a baby Priest....

I don't care about whether I intimidate women with my size or not. If they actually take the time to know you, they'll see past your appearance. Besides, you gotta be happy with yourself first........not what you think a woman wants.

I was stationed in Germany (hanau) and never had any of those "intimidation" factors you speak of, YossHoss.
