Reply With QuoteAlot of people can lift the same amount of w8 with flat and decline... that being more w8 than incline.
But I would say it would go flat, decline and then incline.

Weight difference in benches
In general, in which bench exercise should I be able to lift most or least, flat bench press vs decline bench press vs incline bench press? Weight in flat bench press <= decline bench press < incline bench press? Or decline bench press < flat < incline? Or what?

I certainly feel that decline is my strong set and incline is my weak set. I try to do equal w8 all around, and just less reps if I feel weaker.
Those who trumpet their sufferings are most deserving of misery.

declines definately, your arms are in the best natural position to push and it is also the shortest distance to complete the rep.
personally though i haven't done declines in well over a year or so, i get a much better stretch and feeling from doing dips instead.
