incline or flat bench chest flyes?

michelle9510 Posts: 172 Joined: 2005/07/14	2005/10/09, 07:06 PM Time to change my workout. I'll be doing incline bench press, cable crossovers and either incline or flat chest flyes. incline will work my upper pecs and flat will work middle pecs right? I guess I will do flat since my incline bench will work my upper pecs. Let me know if I'm wrong. Also, do females need to work the lower pecs? I read something a woman bodybuilder said in some fitness mag. She said women don't need to worry about their lower pecs because their breast tissue covers it up. What do you guys think?

Nice workout...you could throw in cross bench dumbbell pullovers to, nice old time movement that id done correctly, stretches the chest cavity, lats, etc. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
