Which is comes first flat or incline bench

[SaltyOlPirate]

I typically do incline dumbbells first, FLat bench, decline bench, incline cables then decline cables. Do you guys feel that decline flys would be more effective then decline bench?

 

[SUST-MAN]

switch it up every month...

 

[Cro Magnon]

Either will work. But don't end up like those idiots who arch their backs SO MUCH on incline that they might as well be doing flat.

I always start with flat for four working sets (not counting warm-up). For incline, I use the lowest degree of inclination possible, so that my front delts don't take over. But, no matter what, my front delts get in on the act the second I incline even a bit, so I always try to make flat bench the emphasis of my chest workout.

I always switch stuff around. Shock principal. Just like jdubs952 said keeps the muscles guessing. But when its time for flat barbbell to come around It seems I always give a little more effort for the ego thing.

I usually always do flat first but incline dif works better for me for as mass .

Unless you have less that 5 years of training under your belt, forget the flat bench. The incline is better and just use the flat dumbell instead of the flat barbell.

I always include incline first, it is my prime chest exercise. I also like to change up order, Dumbell to Barbell, etc... It is not so much the exercise, but variation and intensity which are the keys.

Incline first, because that is what I have the most problems with, then I do flat dumbells.

Incline first on one week then flat first the next week to change it up a bit. Dont want the body to get used to something.
