Its pretty good unless I don't have someone to spot me than I really have to watch with flat or incline bench. I think I may switch to doing dumbbells when no one is around. This way I could go heavier without worries

I find I can hit chest better with dumbbells. Better range of motion I presume. Also, doesn't agitate my shoulders as much as bench does.

Or it could very well be both issues.

I hope this makes sense, typedit qquickly while passing out Halloween candy!!

no I get what your saying. I honestly never paid attention to it. But I will now. Appreciate it buddy.

If you normally do flat bench...mix it up and try DECLINE bench as it will hit different area of the chest for ya
