Hey, whats up everyone. I work in a fitness super store and we have a lot of bodybuilders that come in all the time. And I was talking to this one guy yesterday whose a junior national level competitor about chest workouts cause he's has an amazing chest. Anyway I was just asking him about his workout and what it consisted of and he told me he does incline bench, decline bench, flyes or cable crossovers and/or hammer strength decline or incline presses. And he says he does flat bench every once in a while. He also said that he switiches up the order of these workouts and sometimes dumbells and sometime barbell, which I already do with my workout. I asked why he doesn't do flat bench that much, and he said that there is really no need to do flat in every workout cause of the stress it puts on your joint, rotator cuffs, and front delts. But incline press does the same thing but he told me that you should only do flat once in a while. Now I don't know how good of a practice this is to do during your chest workout but it doesn't seem right to me, so I just wanted to ask all of you guys here if anyone thinks that his workout is good and if flat bench or flat dumbells press is a necessary exercise to perform in every chest workout? Thanks in advance.

He is deffinitly a good read.
i know of a lot of people who never do bench presses(pro's and other people) and they have great pec development. i never flat barbell bench. i do dumbell flat presses if i do a flat press, or hammer strength. my favorite pec builder is incline db presses!
