Incline Press Benefits?

Training Bodybuilding

Sorry, I have a hard time believing that unless 50% of this is from shakes. Tell me what a typical eating day looks like for you.

To the topic - def do incline work as pointed out in previous posts. I just hit 315 on incline so that gives you something to work towards.

Good luck and train hard,

And your volume is way too low, thats not even half of what I hit on any given chest day. The shoulder press is for shoulders obviously, not chest.

You do flyes so that means you have DB’s? If not, get some. Since the stationary goes incline, does it go decline as well?

Either way, I am thinking DB flat, barbell flat, DB incline, barbell incline, DB decline, barbell decline, DB flyes, DB pull overs, push ups if you want to superset any of these. Seems like you got everything you need bro.

Hit 3-4 excercises, 10-12 sets for chest , instead of your 6 sets.

My chest is one of my weak points. As of right now i do

Fly - 3 sets 8 reps
bench - 3 sets 8 reps
shoulder press - 3 sets 8 reps
(I’m on a stationary @ home so i don’t have a whole lot of flexibility to branch out to other chest exercises)

However i can do an inclined press…Will i see any extra benefit from the inclined press besides the effort i put into doing it? I guess what I’m asking is, does an inclined press target a different part of the pectorals than bench/fly/shoulder press does?[/quote]

Ya, i drink 2-3 Mass XXX shakes a day.

So from shakes alone that’s about
100-150grams protein
248-372grams carbs
20-30grams fat

Then i have the whole milk/flax seed added.

Then i have a Surge recovery shake

On top of that I eat 4 meals a day which consist of protein/fat/veggies/fruits.
(Normally just a steak/burger/chicken/fish with no bread)

I keep my card count low for my solid meals since the weigh gainer shakes have so much carbs.

I fill in the rest of my fat intake with nuts/peanut butter.

Yeah, the flys are actually part of the stationary. Although I’m moving here next week so I’m actually going to be lifting at a decent gym here soon.

Thanks for the help/suggestions.

I would strongly advise you to switch to whole foods instead of shakes as much as possible. And if you are going to do shakes, make them less sugary. You mention those shakes have a lot of carbs in them, my bet is that they are mostly sugar.

You can get the same anmount of calories, protein and carbs a much healthier way if you do something like 2 cups of milk, 1/2 cup of oats, banana, 2 scoops whey protein, table spoon olive oil.

And I will take whole food solid clean carbs any day when I am bulking. I would never sacrifice the carbs from a yam for the carbs in a weightgainer powder.

Good luck and train hard,
