    Best Activation of pectorals

    Well, everytime I move up to heavy weight (My shoulder start to bitch), therefor i'm going to change up my benchpressing style from

    "Bodybuilder style"



    To:

    "Powerlifter style"





    Which once of the above activates pectorials most?
    I'm guessing the "Bodybuilder" one, since that one is actually done by many bodybuilders.

    In general, the bodybuidling style is superior. Here's my suggestion-try doing multiple sets (about 10 sets) using each exercise alone in the 10 rep range. Do this once a week using only the flat bench press to see which one makes your overall chest the sorest. Then you will know. If the flat press done bodybuilding style in good form is huritng your anterior shoulder when upping the weight you may need to use much better form or change over to 15 degree declines.
