To get full pec development, you need to hit the chest from different angles.
You know that, right?
But while most guys are relying on doing this solely via the incline, flat, and decline benches, I have a BETTER tip for you...
Instead of changing the angle at which you work your chest, focus on your GRIP WIDTH!
Here's why...
Depending on how close your hands are together on the barbell, you target either different areas of your chest.
The closer your hands, the more you work the inner and upper pecs (but also your triceps).
The wider your hands are, the more overall chest stimulation you get as you take a lot of the triceps out of the power equation.
So here's how you can use this knowledge to further your chest development...
Start with the flat bench and do one set of the barbell bench press with a close grip until you reach failure at about 8-12 reps.
Rest 2 minutes and then do another set of 8-12 reps to failure with a shoulder width grip.
Finally, after you next 2 minute rest, do another set with your hands about 6-8 inches wider than shoulder width.
From here, you can move on to the incline bench and do the same exact thing for 3 more sets.
Follow it up with a trip to the decline bench for 3 more and you're all done for "Chest Day"!
