Ooh so now I'm "a retired"? So to put things straight.. I could write that I've shot 20 people, but I didn't do it, because no one actually shoots 20 people, well most of them. Correct?

As I said, I got the idea for this thread from another topic where someone mentioned it jokingly. So I thought why not make one since this is the off-topic section and there are many threads in hre that you shouldn't take seriously. If you wanna see it as bragging, go ahead. but I don't take this thread serious at all..

People in the gym & on dbb forum always told me that you can't train a specefic part of your chest with an exercise. You will always train the whole chest.

Well technically that is true, but only to some extent. The fact is, incline BP throws a lot more emphasis on the upper chest, whilst decline hits the lower a lot more, although the upper part is still being used slightly. I have to say, when I do incline BP, the next morning my upper chest feels a lot more sore than the lower part.

i agree, that is why the bench press exercise is considered a compound exercise, meaning it works on multiple muscles on your body. however, you can still target a specific area that you want to work.

this is for anyone that want to workout and dont want to spend so much time in the gym. always use compound exercises like squat, pull ups, bench press, and bent row to work out with. unless, you have to improve on certain muscle on your body than you need to use isolation exercises like bicep curl, triceps extension, leg extension, and etc. If you want to bench press more work on your shoulders and triceps.
