I was wondering if you do incline first or flat bench first....or does it matter???

[skeptic]

flat bench is the main mass building exercise, but you could alternate week by week to keep your muscles guessing

[bbdude]

it depends on wether u need most mass in upper or middle chest.. right now for me i keep the flat bench first cause i need more mass over all, later i will change it to prioritize the upper chest which will lack in mass compared to the rest when i get older so yes it does matter a little...

I alternate, one week I'll start with flat bench next week incline dumbbell next week flat db next week incline bench. just keep switching it up.

[skeptic]

I only use dumbells at the moment, cus im trying to strengthen my shoulders before i start using the bars.

[Mygeeto]

i hardly ever use barbells for chest exersizes. i prefer dumbbells and i dont do anything incline either.

[skeptic]

the highest the dumbells go in my gym go are 50kg/110lb which sucks, im only doin 35's at the moment, i reckon by christmas ill be doing the 50's... which sucks lol

No offense intended, skeptic, but unless you're very new to training I really doubt your bench is going to go up 43% in 16 weeks.

[skeptic]

ipretty new to proper lifting, i have been goint up 2.5kg each every 2weeks or so

[bbdude]

whoa nice skeptic.. but i have to stick with mabo here, when u come as high as 35kg ur progress isnt gonna go as fast as it did the first weeks.. maybe by march or something, but not by xmas gl anyways^^

[skeptic]

well, maybe im not totally sure of gauging these kidna things yet, but thats my goal and im gonna try get to it lol

dont let anyone tell you anything different skeptic...this is you and your training, u want to hit the 110lb'ers by Christmas, set your mind to it and train your heart out for it. If you don't reach it, set a new goal... Got to keep yourself motivated and goal setting works for me.

Thats exactly what i intend on doin kirklab!! thanks man
