flat bench is to squats as incline bench is to front squats.

so flat bench works whole chest and incline works part of it?

im dumb, please elaborate

 

[InTraining]

Personally..I think flat bench sucks if you want a big chest...I did flats first for awhile and got some gains...mostly in the front delts and triceps though...switched to inclines and put at least an inch or 2 on the pecs..not exaggerating

so do you do inclines and then flat?

or you dont do flat at all

Inclines(alternate between BB and DB) and onto HS press or Flat DB these days

[InTraining]

Hammer Strength

personally, chest growth is a byproduct of training for me. i dont train "chest" per se. i train my bench press. the results come from the training itself. im not disappointed. i implement lifts in my routine to help other lifts, bring up weak points, or prevent injury.

i like this approach..seems less stressfull and complicated than finding what stimulates your growth personally lol

im looking at it from a performance aspect. the load and volume takes care of any slight advantages that i would gain over a more specific exercise. e.g flyes. i keep most moves compound so that i can increase load without so much strain on the joints as isolation movements tend to do.
