haven't been as focused lately, seems like i'm just moving the weights around - hope to get out of this valley soon!

for me i start with flat bench, inclines, DB flies and weighted dips(thanks to TCD for that one and love em).

Post embarrasing pix of yourself (like I did), and not Don Mattingly, then you will be motivated

love it! actually just started to train with a newbie and think it will probably help me put things back into overdrive. must say though going to all these Yankee games lately hasn't helped (not working out, drinking the whole 9 yards)! just cannot pass up the tickets when they are thrown out attcha.

so, if i stand in front of the computer long enough i can achieve a nice base color that you are showing in your avitar? just kidding!

i have been wrestling with the idea of gearing my workouts more toward PL in the last few months and feel that i'm gonna switch things up in the next few weeks. that alone should motivate me!

There is a book called muscle meets the magnet. It takes professional bodybuilders and has them perform variuos excercises and imediatally performs a cat scan. Now this book will show you what fibers are MOST activated during different exercises. It will also show the nuetrilizing and stabilizing muscles activated. This book will help you with the many myths of training. While not an exact science, you must figure in genetics and personal differences in people. One person may feel an exercise differently that another. So basicially one cannot say inclines do not isolate that portion of the chest because another mat feel it there more and what this book proves is that one person may have more muscle recruitment to that area than another. So argue all you want the only thing that will work for you is trying to recruit more muscle fibers to a specific area by taking it to muscle failure by the best means possible.

As you said though, everyone has different bone structure, insertion points etc, so not all things affect us the same indeed. I think though most of the time things are generically applicable, for the most part.
