- Up until a few months ago I was completely ignorant to the fact that
- flat bench does not work the entire pectorals equally. I found this
- out when I tried to do incline and could do only about 65% of what I
- can do on a flat bench. Since then I have adjusted my routine to
- include some incline. Since I always start using 5 sets of flat bench
- I think my triceps get tired and can't work the incline as hard. I
- am reluctant to mess with the initial 5 sets of flat bench because
- I have seen steady results.
-
- What is the best way to get my incline up while still working on
- the flat? It is defeating for me to work with weights on the incline
- that I left long ago on the flat.
-
- Will it take as long for my incline to develop as it did my flat?
- I feel that since the two are closely related it shouldn't take
- quite as long.
-
- Currently I work 10-12 sets of a variety of incline/flat exercises,
- twice a week.
- All Advice Appreciated,
- Jerry
