Flat Bench Press!

[finafiend1]

I get best gains from dips. I do flat and incline w/ bar or db for variety.

Flat d-bell presses seem to be the hot ticket for my chest. Unfortunately my gym only has up to the 125lb d-bells...and they're getting way too light for me.

I'm always getting complimented on my chest development. I do believe that it is the body part that mostly sticks out on me. I prefer to do incline and decline for every chest w/o and flat bench once a month. It's worked for me. My .02

my heavy focus is decline barbell, but i also do incline and flat db's (flat bb kills my shoulders!).

what i've noticed with the "droopy" guys that you mention is that i never see them really work their backs.

i think you need the muscles that are developed doing things like rows and chins to keep your shoulders pulled back.

Well, if the goal is bodybuilding, then the muscle should be worked hard from various angles to ensure that all parts of it is worked and developed to the fullest.

Just not all in the same workout, though.

I think flats are good for size, but they are also the most notorious for pec tears. Since mine, I have used nothing but inclines and dips and have had the same good results without flats.

the hunched droopy ape posture look comes from overtraining pressing movements and not training the rhomboids and rear delts. At my gym we call this "frat boy" syndrome.

I do both flat and incline on every chest workout.
