I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

I do them on the flat bench. As long as you add close grip benches to your arm routine, I don't think it matters whether there incline, decline or flat bench. JUST ADD THEM TO YOUR ROUTINE.

I love narrow grip bench presses for my chest
