If You Could Do Just ONE Chest Exercise?

[MJH]

Which would it be and why? Vote!

 

[MyK]

I'd alternate!

 

[aceshigh]

behind the neck shoulder press

 

[KEFE]

bench press son

 

[DiGiTaL]

bench presses

 

[Seanp156]

I was hoping to see deadlifts on the list.... Since it's not, either flat BB, or incline BB press.

 

[mike456]

of course bench press

 

[MACCA]

Flat d/b for me.

 

[Gazhole]

DB Fly.

Ive always loved that exercise.

 

[MJH]

I voted for dips, but flat DB flyes is definitely up there.

 

[mike456]

my vote was for flat bench press, but I think pec deck is better than db flyes, it has more resistance througout the ROM than the db flye, therefore activating more muscle fibers, therefore causing more hypertrophy, therefore getting more chicks

 

[Steed77]

Flat D/B Presses...but I like Incline D/B Presses also.

There must be a lot of young people on this poll. I'm seeing flat bench. Trust me on this, flat bench will end up playing havioc on your rotators as the years go by.

Flat bench is just an ego thing. I'll vote for decline bench at 15% as it's a safer chest exercise for all around mass building and preventing injuries.

I feel you bro, That's why I bench powerlifter style (elbows in), dont wonna fuck up the rotators.

I'm really surprised flat bench press got so many votes, too. Not because its not a decent movement but because IMO its not the best out there for to get your chest growing.

 

[mike456]

there are others that are better for your chest, but I just love Flat Bench Press, and its a great compund, and I wouldnt want to lose it
but if your just saying exercise best for chest only, pec-deck flyes IMO

 

[mike456]

surprisingly I dont have access to a pec dec(I lift at home) and I only did it acouple of times and I loved it!

 

[Alaric]

Incline Bench for me, I agree with Tough Old Man. Bench press is an ego exercise.

 

[CowPimp]

I said bench press. I like the movement a lot, whether it is just the conditioning of the lifting community or not. Some of it has to do with my interest in powerlifting, but also the fact that I never used to do anything for my chest except the bench press and it has always been a well-proportioned body part for me.

 

[IRON MAN]

15 degree Declines because they places less stress on the pec tendon.

 

[fUnc17]

Incline benches for me, i like a challenge

 

[devildog88]

Incline dumbell presses for me!

 

[gopro]

For me it would be either the incline smith press or flat smith press to upper pecs.

 

[MJH]

flat smith press to upper pecs

Awesome movement, here.

 

[MyK]

Awesome movement, here.

I love isolating my upper chest!

 

[gopro]

Awesome movement, here.

Yeah, if your shoulders are flexible enough to handle this movement, it is just awesome! What a stretch!

 

[MJH]

I love isolating my upper chest!

He's saying you take the bar in the Smith-machine to your upper chest, bro. Not isolating the upper chest.

Isolating no...emphasizing yes.
