Tell me WHY I should do bb incline on bench

[the.gladiator1987]

I do BTN military 185lbs for reps, I bench 300+ and my front delts are bigger than the rest of my delts

So is there any reason for me to include bb incline in my routine? I already do bb flat, and db incline, and weighted dips and bb and db military. What else can I do for chest? thx guys

why not do some kind of fly instead of a press? it looks like you have enough presses for your chest, and flys are crucial for chest development imo

It's a good assistance lift for OHP. That's the only reason I do them.

I do like low incline DB presses for chest.

IMO if you have bench, incline db and dips you dont really need incline bb aswell. Especially if you have BTN and db presses for shoulders.

I dont like BB incline at all though.

I like the idea that they are a good exercise for assisting the military press. Maybe I can do

bench
bb incline
dips
flyes

???

If your soul purpose is to increase your OHP I'd do the incline first. Maybe...

Incline
Dips
Flat DB
Flys

I'd mix it up though. Run this a few weeks then hit flat BB first in your chest routine.

Yea I agree, jus sucks because bench is such an ego lift. and i got a lot if ego, i think ill do

bench/incline
db incline
dips
flyes

Each week ill alternate incline and flat bb press like you said. Is there any benefit to switching it up every 3 weeks instead of every week SL?

I doubt there would be much benefit. I suggested it that way with the main goal of increasing your OHP. This is what I'm doing.

I'm finally up to 225 for sets of 8 on the incline BB. I'm hoping to get a strict 225 OHP before long. I can get 185x10 with some slight leg drive on the last few reps. I keep getting crushed with 225 though.
