    Want a big chest? Quit wasting time on flat bench. It's a stupid lift from an athletic standpoint and not a great lift from a chest standpoint.

    You'll get more chest work doing incline, decline, flies, TRX pushups, and even dips. You use to many other muscle groups on bench.

    Bench is however great for bragging to other guys about how much you bench if that's your goal.

    Ummm what? Flat bench actually works lower part of the pec in addition to thickness...hence why not many do decline. Please tell me one pro who does not do flat bench...incline flys and incline press help a lot, but so does flat.

    I didn't say it doesn't help. Just that several other things work better. And your wasting your time if your just doing flat bench and wondering why your chest is shitty

    Fuck......I have been using a narrow grip I guess....I would call it narrow but yeah, if the barbell is on the top I have a hard time reaching it when I put my hand where they are suppose to be....it seems easier when its a little narrower too

    I used to do flat bench a lot but the past year or so I've been emphasing BB inclines and declines, with high rep DB presses afterwards. Declines definitely add width to my chest and some mass on my tris.

    A) Meadows rows — 2 warm up sets followed by 3 sets of 8. Watch the video, get the form correct, and then don't be afraid to work up to a heavy weight. Remember the correct hip positioning — play around with it until you find the spot that allows you to feel your ENTIRE lat working.
    B) Dumbbell deadstop rows — 3 sets of 8. Use a heavy weight, challenge yourself, but don't get sloppy.
    Fascia Tissue Stretch for 1 minute on each lat — do it twice
    C) Stretchers — 2 sets of 12. Remember the form. Let your arms straighten, and duck your head as shown in the video.
    D) Heavy partial pulldowns — 2 sets of 8.
    Fascia Tissue Stretch for 2 minutes on each lat — do it twice
    E) Supported rows — 3 sets of 10. Remember to keep elbows up as shown in the video.
    F) Dumbbell shrugs — 3 sets of 12. Hold and flex each rep at the top for 3 seconds.
    G) Hyperextensions — Do one set with medium weight to failure, then drop the weight and get a few more reps. The next set, cut the weight in half and repeat. On the third set, just do bodyweight for as many reps as possible.
    For example, hold a 50-pound dumbbell and do 15 reps; then drop it and try to gut out 10 more. On the 2nd set, hold a 25-pound dumbbell and do the same reps; on the 3rd set try to get about 25 reps.
