Is incline benchpress a meme?

Why is it supposed to be better than straight bp? does your chest muscle really develop differently if you do them or does genetics determine how your chest will look?
>>

Why do I see this image on 4chan so much, what is so special about it

>was just implying

>>37223067

Involves more shoulder, but doesn't allow you to lift as much weight.

>does your chest muscle really develop differently if you do them

No.

Incline bench is far from being the best if you wanna focus on the clavicular portion of the chest.

Yeah, the lack of scapulae movement is pretty bad for impingement.
The OHP (standing) is a much better option in that case.

Pretty much the best evidence I've ever seen to do incline bench, OP. In fact, I'm going to do some tomorrow now just because of this thread.
>>
>>37223250
It's actually right for once, beginners are more likely to go nowhere with an incline bench press. You're better off trying to get a strong bench and ohp. But yes it's a little weird seeing a trap giving out lifting advice when they can't lift a pebble

>>
>>37223250
You're both wrong. If you want a chest you do flies. Lots of them. All benching hits shoulders hard and doesn't hit chest as much as you think it does, although they are great for it still and shouldn't drop them.

The best: Reverse grip bench

What works well: Bench, OHP, Incline Bench

>>37223296

Yeah, bench doesn't hit chest. Look at this guy, only shoulders. Lmao bench BTFO.

Fucking meme fucks. Your chest is the primary mover on the bench press, it's not a shoulder lift.

Alot of people set the inline angle to high which can snap your shit up, just set it at slightly higher angle than regular bench is sufficient. Same bench rules apply.

>>37223278
Never said to abandon regular bench but its overated as an end all be all of chest exercises that drones like trappy recommend

Bro that shows that they're basically equivalent lol. And gj posting a non natty genetic freak.

Big chest = surplus, benching, and plenty of flies/isolation and possibly roids

>>37223330
I don't even see the point of doing incline if you can't flat bench at least 275x1. Paused overhead presses will be a better use of your time. Doing flat then incline ain't gonna do jack. I don't see anyone progress fast or get strong doing that

>>37223330

No, that's factually incorrect.

The majority of the ROM of the bench press is Transverse Flexion, which is the major function of ALL parts of the pec major.
While your anterior delts also help with transverse flexion, it's not their main function (flexion). They are not as strong.

The bench does include a small flexion component as well, but a big part of it is under hyperextension, where the lower portions of the sternocostal pec major have a very strong moment arm for flexion. Not only this, but the clavicular pec major has a strong moment arm for flexion regardless, so even if you were to maximise the flexion and minimise the transverse flexion in your benching, you would still be using your chest more than your shoulders.

>>37223356

Anterior delts are also one of the main movers on the bench.
However, the chest IS the strongest and primary mover, above all else (besides the triceps, which performs a separate function mostly on its own, though it does get a bit of help from the chest and shoulders by its passive tendon action on the long head).

"Bench doesn't train your chest enough" is the stupidest meme.

You can literally do the whole movement with only biceps/triceps. Only advanced benchers use their whole body.

>>37223389
I said bench is great for chest but isolating it in addition will get you the best results. Strong bench + plenty of flies = big chest.

Hence why bodybuilders don't just do bench...

I love you trappy but please don't use body weight to prove you can lift more than fags on 4chin. bw only looks impressive if you are talking about little girls like you. I squat 2x body weight but I wouldn't consider 435 squat big weight because it's not. Body weight is a bad metric for strength.
