Nelson is correct, BB bench is pointless and outdated.

[HighIntensity]

but he sayd dips are the most important...I say

Dips

Incline DB press

Decline DB press


these are the only chest exercises you will ever need in life. The key is hitting the chest three times a week with rest pauses HIT training. 4 sets min. a day.

I wouldn't say pointless, maybe over emphasized. Where are the flys? You gotta have flys. The comment is a little too general, it's highly dependant on goals and the person.

What a bullshit thread

Incline DB presses top my list as the most effective chest exercise. I think that flys are a waste of time, provided that you perform your DB presses correctly.

bor 4 sets of HIt ONCE a week is enough...3 times??? my fucking chest would tear off

 

[Lift or Die]

I don't do flat barbell bench presses anymore for various reasons. But for someone just starting off or new to bodybuilding I think the flat barbell bench should be a staple in their training to build a foundation for chest development and a strong upper body.

I have always gotten compliments on my chest. I built it with:

Barbell Bench Press
Incline Barbell Bench
Flat bench Flies
Pullovers

Never failed me. It's about form.

 

[JP@Ironology]

Bench press good.

 

[robsatx]

I love bench press . . .

My Pecs are always getting comments and grabbed. I use the other exercises to shape my chest.

And what is this crap about three times a week. That is overtraining big time. Unless you are going light and trying to get very ripped. That is how my wife works out.

Agreed!
