Yeah man incline will help alot because if your upper chest is bigger you look bigger in general. I do flyes in the incline position also Best shit ever Agreed. I can't do it every workout since it's just too exhausting on my muscles, but what i like to do is superset those 2 exercises. I'll start off with 10 incline flyes and then go right into 10 incline press. Do 2-3 sets of this and you'll see what i mean |

Hit your triceps hard and you'll be able to bench a good lot more. Throw in pull ups and you're golden That wouldn't increase his bench by a lot unless his tries become absolutely jacked because tries are more of a secondary muscle when benching, if that. Unless he does close-grip barbell press which is specifically for tries but he is referring to a chest bench press.. fyi  It's a known fact that triceps play a major role bench. It's a compound exercise and thus works a lot more than chest. Hitting a plateau in bench? Your triceps probably aren't strong enough |

Do 2-3 sets of this and you'll see what i mean I don't know your workout but if you have a day of specifically chest or whatever you do, you can substitute exercises whenever as long as you do it to keep you're body from plateauing and not for easier workouts. But also with your legs comment, you want to have a well rounded physique. Don't be the guy at the gym with the big arms and toothpick legs because then you look like you're on roids haha theres a guy at my gym exactly like that. You want the blood flowing throughout your body and there's a good amount of leg workouts that can help your core. |

My new workout is a 4-day split. 2 days of it are Chest, Back, and Arms and the other 2 days are Legs and shoulders. |

Your triceps probably aren't strong enough When I plateaud in bench, I found incline and decline presses while not doing flat pressing for 2 weeks helped a ton. Triceps help too but to a lesser extent unless you use a narrow grip |
