are you sposed to be able to bench decline and incline with the same weight as flat bench?
i always thought they were harder so you use less weight but not today :dunno:

 

i dunno, but isnt de/incline a more isolated chest workout.

 

You're positioned different so I think they use different muscles. I know I can bench a lot more than I can incline because of my shoulder dislocation in a football game in august. So now I'm rehabbing my shoulder but I know when I incline it really tears my shoulder up so I completely stopped until my shoulder is at full strength again.

 

It really depends on the individual. All three exercises work different parts of the chest. Some people can bench alot on the flat bench bc thats all they do for their chest workouts(typical teenager who doesnt know anything else exists besides a bench lol). As far as me and my workout partners we do all three chest exercises on a rotation. So in other words one day will be uppeer and middle chest and the next workout will be middle and lower)

Some people may be really strong when it comes to their upper chest where others may be stronger in their lower chest. Just depends on the individual really. Me personally I can bench more on inclines than flat bench and the least on decline bc for a while I was so focused on building my upper chest that it just got really strong.

Did someone tell you that you should be lifting more on decline for some reason? I know some people who cant even do declines bc their legs are so huge they cant get their feet under the roller pad used to stabilize the body in place.

 

Use an incline smith machine. Your delts will be thanking you every single rep you do. It totally isolates you to using more of your pecs to do the workout and less of you front delts.

 

you should be able to press more weight in decline. incline should be more difficult than regular bench.

 

It depends on which part of your chest is the strongest, as said above. Not everyone can bench more on decline than flat/incline. I'm equal on incline/flat, and close on decline.
