How Important Is Incline?

[ExtraMile]

So my fav chest exercise is Flat DB Press, I also do Flat BB press because I want to compete as a PLer in the future, I much prefer flat DB press to Incline Db. I hate Incline BB and I tryed incline flyes today and didnt like them either.

I was thinking for chest just doing
Flat BB 1x5 1x8 1x12
Flat DB 3-4x8-10
Cable Crossover 3x15

Thing that occurs to me is people always talk about how good incline presses are, but would I really suffer not doing any incline work at all? Or am I just over thinking it all?

If you don't like them don't do them... i can't believe this is a thread...

Actually..... If you don't like them, maybe you should prioritize them.

lol

If you are doing OHP's and are not fond of incline presses then don't worry about it.

One day you will love them though.

I love inclines and what pisses me off is that someone does an exercise for a couple of times and says that doesn't like it. That's why so many pussies don't do squats and deads, because they don't like them...

I love inclines more than bench press itself, but now i'm learning to like the bench because i'm progressing @ it.

Same here. Low incline DB presses has to be my favorite "chest" exercise. I'm not built for flat BB but I hit them hard. They are one of the best upper body mass builders you can do.

Yep! EM is just bitching and i have no idea why, he hits PR's every workout and still not happy about it.....

You dont have to do them but it will lead to a underdeveloped chest and out of balanced.

Extramile if you dont mind me saying you change your workout way to damn much bro. Your always switching all kinds of shit around and changing rep schemes adding and or droping exercises. Build a great program that focus's on your goals and absolutely kill yourself in the gym and then go home and eat then go to bed.


45 Degree Incline Curl,Kroc Rows,Kpipe Curls,BB Complex

Some of these listed are not needed at all. Kroc row??kpipe curl?? The fuck is that?

If your goal is to be powerlifter than you shouldnt be doing a ton of accessory shit, and your reps shouldnt be greater than 6 in my opinion. Also diet is extremely important.

This is just me giving contructive criticism. : )

I like CG inclines - feels like an entirely different exercise,

Both normal and close grip can be useful if you want to PL but this stuff isn't written in stone. Do enough of them so you understand what's going on and file it away for future reference.
