Bench Press (Flat / Decline) Boost Your Chest with GymBudd

The bench press is a cornerstone exercise for building chest strength and upper-body power. Using both flat and decline angles ensures balanced chest development. With GymBudd, you can train smarter, stay motivated, and never lift alone.

Why Flat & Decline Matter

• Flat Bench Press: Engages the middle chest, shoulders, and triceps. Perfect for overall mass and strength.

• Decline Bench Press: Targets the lower chest and emphasizes the lower pectoral fibers for a fuller, sculpted look.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using too much weight too quickly

• Lifting without proper spotter support

• Bouncing the bar off your chest instead of controlled movements
