Such as? (and please don't mention inclines...I don't like 'em)

I prefer DB flat presses to barbell. Do you think that's okay? What otheres do you recommend?

You admitted that you were tiny and that's partly due to you not wanting to do the best exercises because you just don't like them. The chest gets worked the best with both some type of incline and weighted dips. I already flew past 50" for my chest, mostly because I dropped flat bench altogether. I stick with different degrees of inclines, and weighted dips. People need to understand that if they're serious about getting big, they need to keep an open mind, and that they don't know everything there is to know. You claiming it's a falsity that I said inclines are the best definately shows that you don't know as much as you think you do. We can't all be wrong about it...Can we? :cool:

Brad maybe you could try using inclines for a bit and see if your chest grows and if it does and your pleased maybe you'll stick with it.

How long ago was that?? Poor Galileo, he got jail time for saying earth is round not flat and that earth revolves around the sun.
