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
