My pecs are looking pretty saggy from the side, and I read an article on this site saying we are far to obsessed with bench press. What are your thoughts on dropping bench press and only doing incline press/incline flies and other upper chest exercises?

Alright, so i have finallly been able to add weight to my bench press (2-3lbs a week so far). Although i have been adding weight, i've noticed it feels like my chest isn't even being worked. I focus so much on just getting the heavy weight (for me) down and up that my chest doesn't feel anything, during or after. Is this normal?

Since I've taken some time off of working out, added a little weight, lost some muscle, and basically became lazy for the most part, I've decided to start the RIPPETOE program. Now, my question is...would doing barbell presses be okay instead of bench presses? I'll be working out alone at home, and would like to play it a little safer. I've read that you don't have to max out, but I would ...

Reverse Grip Bench Press Has anyone had success increasing the raw or shirted bench press with the reverse grip bench press? I know that it works the triceps harder than in the normal grip press so it would make sense if it did, but rarely do I see/hear of anyone doing them as max effort....

I no longer have a spotter so I was thinking about using the smith machine for Close Grip Bench. How much less effective would that be versus free weights? I just get nervous with no spotter.

I met Alan about 13 years ago when I got into the vending business by buying a few routes from him. He got into power lifting several years ago in his mid 40s and now is breaking records for his age/weight class. The amazing thing about this is the guy has a fatal blood disease, but since the diagnosis has kept up the weight lifting and keeps breaking records. Here he is lifting 462 ...
