Interesting Discrepancy

[Mr.Totality]

I am curious if anyone here suffers this issue. I train incline just much harder than flat and I have found that my incline (max 290) is about the same that I can max on the flat. Additionally, I have been working my seated press aggressively, and found that my seated press is getting into numbers that are not too far off from the pack as well (225 3 reps). Anyone else have the same issue?

Yo!

I to have the same issue. I can do inlines heavier than flat. When I first started I could do more on the flat. Now I can do the inclines heavier than flat, but thats probably because I do that exercise more often now. Its a good thing to be stronger in inclines, its important to have a good upper chest. Keep working hard.

Your body just adapts quicker so certain exercises, making it alot easier to do them

exactly what they said your chest is just adapting to the lift

i am at the opposite, my flat bench is more than incline, but this thread made me start thinkin' i should try putting inclines first every other chest day just to see where it really stands. i usually do flat bench and then flat flies before i do incline bench, and therefore don't have as much left to do them.

The funniest part is that when I hit 20 I did some local college BP competitions and won a few. I was able to throw around 420+ on good days. Now I feel awkward with it and unstable. But I love the friggin incline. Funny how things change
