That's probably true. Is chest training important?

nice article btw

good article. sounds pretty sensible.

why wouldn't a db press be optimum aswell? you are moving the weight in the same plane described

Great article, I've often thought about this issue because in reality once you think about the physics and the various muscles involved in the bench press you realize a few things. One being that there are so many muscles taking on the load you're lifting that the pectorals are not actually able to make the most of the load because pressing isn't exactly an adducting motion which is what the chest muscles are adducting muscles i.e we work to bring a load towards the center of your body. The slide push up and the cable press when set up like that make perfect sense because they incorporate the adduction movement which really engage the chest muscles. In fact I remember seeing a thread on this forum where this guy went from having no chest to boulders and he claimed the slide push up was what was reponsible for his excellent chest development.

But the bench press is a compound movement. That's the idea...
