Reckin007 Posts: 56 Joined: 2004/06/22	2004/06/23, 03:11 PM Okay I find that when I do incline, decline, and regular bench press on the same day that my muscles get real tired and I gradually can barely lift the bar on the 3rd set...is this just an endurance problem or is it actually a sign that things are working?

bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/06/23, 03:29 PM sandy sorry to say but I feel pull overs in my lats more so than lower chest, thats why I don't do them, the chest is a "push " muscle seems lida goofy to try and hit a "push muscle " with a "pull" excercise. I men it hits it a lil bit, but only like the last 20% of movemnet actually hits the chest. So why do it? Rather do some dips, or decline where I can really feel it. -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

I know the only differance between them is the angle you are when you lay down on the bench. On my bench I have all three. I really want to get some definintion and musclular pecs, is there one I should do above the other two, should I do all three. Or does it not matter which one I do?
