Questions I have:
My decline bench press has an angel of ~25 degrees not 10 ... should I do flat press instead?
For Bicep curls should I use a preacher bench?
I have been lifting weights (with no routine) for 2 years ... and I just finished p90x (religiously followed routine). Should I be using this workout or should move on to something more advanced ( say 5 day a week work-outs isolating one muscle group per day) ?

I'm not a fan of the program. I don't see how you can squat on friday and then again on monday.
I prefer flat over incline.
I recommend the preacher curls; I think they are great.
I prefer the one muscle group per day thing. To each his own.

if you cant bench around twice your bodyweight, squat around three times your bw, or deadlift around 3.5 times bw, imo your not advanced, you should be doing more frequency until you get stronger and damage the muscle more
if your benching 225 thats not to much damage

Should i stick with the program ... ?
go to one muscle group per day ...?
or even increase target muscle workout frequency ... ?
