I don't flat bench much, not crazy about the "feel".

Steve: now I'm confused....I thought you said dips were on the "bad list"....so, are you "fer'um or agin'um?" Which dips are you talking about parallel or bench?

kb: I don't think there is an ultimate "show of strength" exercise....but you gotta admit....a strong bench press is impressive. However, since I'm a wuss at squats....they impress me more. Ah, heck....I'm pretty impressed with strength period. Heavy weights being lifted, muscles rippling.....oh yeah!

What are y'alls favorites for chest? I'm going with incline presses and flyes.
