How much less is you incline compared to your flat bench??

[TC2]

My incline is not a whole lot less than my flat bench, what about you guys???

 

[Tiervexx]

same, my incline sucks ass.

 

[MJBossman]

Flat: 295x4
Incline: 245x6

I always do incline after flat so I'm tired by then.

 

[needsize]

I use the bar for flat, dumbells for incline so its hard to tell. Right now I am benching 315 for 8 -10 reps, and inclining 10 reps with the 125lb'ers. The funny thing is my close grip bench is within 10lbs of my flat bench

 

[Mike_Rojas]

Flat bench: 275x4, 305x1
Incline: 225x5
Decline: 300x3, 315x1

 

[WalkingBeast]

Incline Bench: 225x20 275x10 315x3 340x1 (This may change tommorow!! haha)

Flat Bench: 225x24 275x12 315x7 325x5 335x3.5 365x1

Not too far behind, only by a few reps, and considering I havent tested max on Incline much, its probabally very close, since 340 was pretty easy on incline.

Incline Bench: 225x20 275x10 315x3 340x1 (This may change tommorow!! haha)

Flat Bench: 225x24 275x12 315x7 325x5 335x3.5 365x1

You're a goddamn maniac for putting up that kind of weight beast.

 

[WarriorPL]

huge gap for me.

Same for me.


I haven't inclined in a few months, but it was always at least a good 50 lbs under my flat bench if I remember correctly.

 

[sk*]

My incline, close grip, and flat bench are all within 10lbs of each other. I don't really do flat benching anymore though.

ThanX Warpath!! But after seeing some guy blast out 405 for 12 reps with a reverse grip on flat bench like it was a joke, and another guy bang out 455 for 3 on the incline, I can see I got a long way to go!! haha I havent hit the juice yet though. ThanX again!

 

[Tweakle]

close grip pretty much what I can bench, my incline sucks.

best I've ever done was flat 325 x 1, close grip 275 x 6, incline 225 x 3

prolly because I have no upper chest

Incline Bench: 225x20

beast beast beast!!!

ThanX Tweakle! I expect some PR's to fall later today when I hit incline!

Just like me.
Wait, except I'm about 30 lbs heavier & about 100lbs weaker! LOL
My inclines are 65lb DBs for 3x15 reps. (That's as heavy as we have)

How much you weighing now NS?

 

[needsize]

How much you weighing now NS?

I'm right around 240lbs, at about 11%bf, so up 60lbs from show day and the biggest I've ever been

Same here although I still flat bench.

I've got a really good upper chest, so maybe I'm just stronger than normal on inclines.

I've just always noticed that alot of people flat bench way more than the incline.

Good now I don't think my flat sucks any more.

 

[WalkingBeast]

Incline Bench: 225x20 275x10 315x3 340x1 (This may change tommorow!! haha)

There has been a few changes! My incline is now:

275x11 315x6 335x2.5 355x1

 

[Awes0me]

about a 40lb diff here

 

[longarms]

I'm right around 240lbs, at about 11%bf, so up 60lbs from show day and the biggest I've ever been

Holy Smoke!
So I don't outweigh you anymore. You musta swole up like a tick after the show!
Anything coming up soon or you gonna take some time off of contest prep?

 

[from zero]

Flat PR is 315, Incline is 285.

 

[d3track]

i haven't done a flat bench in over a year, so i'm not sure

 

[Synpax]

Pretty big % gap for me , probably due in part to me doing the 3 sets of inclines immediatly after the 4 sets of flat bench.

 

[CobraUTAH]

Incline max 245
flat max 295

 

[mediocre lifter]

my best incline is about 86% of my best bench i beleive

 

[Becoming]

Mine are about the same or very close anyway... I lower the angle a bit, but even at the high incline angle, it is within 10%... both well over 400 now...

Fucking nice!!

 

[IJ26]

I guess Im weird bc my incline is so damn close to my flat bench. There couldnt be more than a 20 pound difference bw the 2 on my 1 rm. Im training DC now but my incline is 225 x 10 on it while my flat is 240 x 10. I feel like I have so much more explosion on incline than flat bench.
