Gopro i've started using your routine today, and i downloaded the microsoft word file made by preacher, and in it for incline bench it says, set the angle to 15%. does that mean 15 degrees horizontal (so its close to flat), or 15 degrees vertically (so its almost perpendicular to the floor)?

I believe that was a type-o. You can use a regular incline bench normally. However, you can also raise up a flat bench on one end to hit all angles in between flat and incline for different muscle stimulation.

Good luck with the program!

Use another angle of dumbell flyes. And, you are welcome!

Gopro, I forgot to mention that my dip station at home doesn't have wide grips for the chest. Is it ok if i use shoulder width parallel bars, but i lean forward to put more stress on the chest, or would you recommend me doing a completely different exercise?

Also, for the power week last time i figured that i don't have dumbbels heavy enough (for a dumbbell press, and incline press)to give me an intense workout, so for now is it ok if I just use a barbell instead?

Thanks!

With the dips, you can use the dip bars you have, but, when you do them, only come up about 2/3 of the way. The lockout portion is mostly triceps.

For power week, yes, you can use a barbell. If you don't have a spotter, please be careful!!!
