Just had a go at incline BB benchpress..

I've been stalling on flat bench for a while and it's pissing me off.

In my 2 1/2 months of training I've never toutched incline, bit I had a go today and I like it.

This got me thinking: if I'm only fresh to incline BP couldn't I use it for a while and my flat BP should increase when I come back? I think so. I'm talking the 90 degree angle by the way.

Would you guys recommend I switch to this excercise for abit to stop me from stalling on flat BP. I'm thinking of going for a 3-5 rep scheme with a few sets, 4-5.

Id also like to hear what you guys have to say in general about the benefits of incline BP.

Also, should I start getting some more rows in to balance the back strength for my BP? What sort of rep range could I use for Pendlay rows on linear progression? (I haven't maxed out linear gains on rows yet)

Thanks for reading guys.

no...

standing push presses, and bent over rows helped me on my BP

Doing any movement week after week is going to stall you out. The trick is to pick 4-5 ME exercises and rotate them EVERY week. Adding bands and/or chains will help as well..

Mix it up! Flat, incline, decline, flyes, cables, dumbells, bodyweight, etc.

I think you get the idea. You can't just keep doing the same thing without a plateau. Drop flat bench for two weeks and come back to it after trying all these other things instead and report back.

no...

Thanks. This helps alot.

Jokes aside, thanks everyone else. I'll try the incline for 2 weeks or something and maybe have ago at another press afterwards before going back to flat bench.
