I switched to incline because building a bigger upper chest is what gives your pecs that have armor plated look. I was building up the bottom too much and it was starting to look like I had tits. Sixteen months of incline pressing fixed it. Not saying flat bench is useless, but I was mostly using it as an ego lift, when I should have been developing the upper pecs instead. Now I don't even focus on chest that much....all about putting up bigger numbers with the standing overhead press.

haha that's funny coming from the master of shit threads.

and you're going to talk about full of shit when you claim to be able bench 265 for 8 reps but can't squat 135? Being able to bench 265 for 8 reps will automatically give you a big squat naturally, unless you have some kind of scientifically anomalous chicken legs.

I haven't lifted legs in a while so of course a month or two of squatting I'll be back up there....265 lbs is MAD LIGHT, ya wimp!
