Hi all!
I was just reading another post and chest balance came up. I am pretty consistent with my chest routine of going heavy sets, 4-6 reps for flat bench first, usally bb's, then medium sets of 7-8 for incline, usally with db's after.
I like this because on the flat bench I feel I can move more weight and increase my strength quicker than starting with inclines. Strength is my first priority, but I am a little concerned that aesthetically this approach might hurt me. On the other hand, incline sets of 7-8 seem like them should be sufficient, especially with dbells because I go real deep.
Again, I am more interested in strength so it is OK for a little imbalance but would anyone have a suggestion to address this issue, given my main priority is strength, if it might develop into a problem.
