The video still didn't really explain anything

Not an expert, but the bench press form at 2:27 looks bad to me — the guy is thrusting his hips and his elbows look flared

[brahsumatra]

I’m stronger benching heavier weights on an incline press vs flat press.

[edgarbolden]

I love and prefer Incline Press over Flat Bemcj

[eskilgjse]

is it normal that i am stronger with incline db than flat db

[xavierortiz]

The fact the athletes in some of the clips have shaky form convinced me to download the app…

Shaky form can limit strength, but these guys are powering through heavy loads which tells me the overall programming is REALLY good

Impressive

Hi Dane, gotta question regarding programming flat and incline. I'm asking this from a bodybuilder stand point as I'm in a hypertrophy phase. How frequently should you rotate flat to incline in terms of a week to week exercise. I've been alternating every other week flat bar to incline e bar and was just curious about your thoughts on this from a hypertrophic standpoint. Thanks for all you do for us Dane and members at Garage Strength

What can you replace it with? Can you share what excersices you do for chest routine?

[Oldlady]

What’s the pro of using that fatter bar ? I’m using it on incline. Now after a shoulder injury

[evilgeof]

Generally a rule of thumb is incline bench is 80 to 85% of your flat but everybody is different.

Is neautral grip dumbbell bench press the better press for football and all rugby codes ?

[alex-qoqb]

bro..i got a pain on my rotator cuff..which one is the best for me incline or flat?

[hectorbarraza]

Hey Coach, can you make a video on if high school athletes should use CBD? Thanks.

[samuelboleyjr]

Great videos. Question: how should I determine my baseline for the bench press? Thanks

[someguy]

do you count your athlete's lifts if their butt comes off the bench? not trolling, just curious

[SeenaTabatabai]

Flat bench lvl of strain on your outer pecs and shoulders is about 9 out of 10 and incline is a 3, if you do alot of other chest stuf and you want to do shoulder work I wouldnt do flat bench, if you do flat bench the full recovery time is like 3-4 days for me anyways incline is like 2.

[filipcza]

My incline is like half of my flat bench.. I don't get these incline > flat guys... Unless that is all that they have ever done

But then again Ive been stalled with flat for eternity so I guess its time for incline

[Valkaneer]

I was trying to decide on what kind of bench to get my new set up and this video convinced me to go in the direction of an adjustable bench. Good info.

Why are all of those guys butts coming off the bench? That's no good, says they can't actually handle the weight they are trying to push. When it happens to me I don't count that rep because I know I had to lift by body to get the height to lift all the way to the top, and if I had kept my butt on the bench I wouldn't have been able to do it.
