I may have asked this before but I don’t have a bench that inclines or declines. Is there any alternatives to those exercises?
To be honest Paul, not knowing what’s around you, we can’t really make any safe suggestions outside of just doing the suggested sets/reps for the incline/decline on a flat bench. Incline and Decline just work the muscles at a different angle causing muscle stress and higher myofiber recruitment at different areas of the targeted muscles, but with the flat you’ll still be working the chest which is the main point of the workout. If you decide to get creative and come up with something, SAFETY FIRST!
I did everything on the flat bench and it worked out fine. Thanks!
