But for just building your chest the decline is far superior than the flat bench. Although of course the flat is an all around better exercise and a lot more beneficial

I'm not sure how true it is, but supposed the angle, and such requires more chest muscle fibers to be used.

And I've had both the rehbands and sbd. The only real difference is the length of the sleeves. I like the extra length on the sbds though. But did use the rehbands for over a year and have no complaints.
Only suggestion I can make is make sure on size and go for a tight fit. Oh and make sure you figure out how to put them on lol

I'm assuming because your hitting the lower pecs building the muscle?

Kinda, I guess. It seems like it relies less on shoulders, and tris from when I do it. I feel it a lot more in my chest than flat/Incline.

Just curious, and to have something new to talk about, what are some of the exercises/routines some of you do that are unorthodox or you simply don't see many others doing?
For me, I have never seen anyone doing tibialis exercises but I always do them with calves. There aren't any at the 24s I visit but at my university's gym there were neck machines I liked to use.
I started doing Jefferson squats recently after watching some Kai Greene on YT & they do a number on the glutes.

Well start posting more!
How did you like the SBDs? It took me awhile but I can get mine on easy now, just takes a lil technique lol Taking them off is easy though.

I hear you, Ive been having some shoulder pain as well lately.
If you fold each end over then slide them on its way easier. I can get mediums on this way, just takes some muscle lol
Its going good, still training in the 70-80% range and trying to build my base up more.

The video isnt bad, but theres a lot of stuff missing from it and some of his information is too narrow focused ignoring other vital aspects. Its better than most "chest" videos ive seen though.

I never know what to believe but something tells me "you don't need flat bench" is just sensationalized. The vid says for "optimal chest development" all you need is incline, decline, and flys.

So would you say for strictly chest hypertrophy the flat is superior to the decline?

He says a lot more than that and explains in detail why. You could learn a thing or two
