A buddy of mine who plays football was telling me today that incline bench press is far superior to flat in terms of building chest muscles, and that flat was mostly an ego booster. Is he right?

Incline benching focuses as much on the shoulders and triceps as it does on the chest muscles.
Flat benching focuses more on the chest muscles than it does on the shoulders and triceps.
The body is mechanically inclined to push out and down. That's why you can usually decline bench more than you flat bench, flat bench more than you incline bench and incline bench more than you seated shoulder press.

What's up with all the qualified posters recently?
That makes perfect sense.
What about Decline benching? Does it focus even more on the chest?
I would assume so. I might start cycling between incline, decline, and flat bench press, sound like a good idea?

I don't care about building chest muscles.
Hi -- I'd like to be banned.
