Bench Press

Post by doubledomer »

If one does inclined, flat and declined bench presses, is it best to do them all on the same day, or should it be flat one day, then inclined and declined the next?

I'd screw the declines. If you do Benching, stick to Inclines and Flats.

Interesting. Why would you leave out the declines all together?

if training 3/week x full body than do 1 exercise each day...if training upper body 2/week then use 2 of them...i'm not against declines but some close grip / lockout / partial work is always good to include

What about flies.

Thanks for all the f/b on this. I like the excercise. I've never done anything except flats. I'll add the inclines and see what that does for me.

Would flies be redundant or would that do something else?
