Don't neglect the importance of variety in angles. Your chest muscles have different sections (upper, lower, inner, outer) and hitting them from various angles will ensure well-rounded development.
Here's how to incorporate variety:
Incorporate both barbell and dumbbell exercises: Barbells are great for building overall chest strength, while dumbbells allow for a more independent range of motion, engaging stabilizer muscles and potentially preventing imbalances.
Incline, decline, and flat presses: Each press variation targets different sections of your chest. Flat presses focus on the middle chest, incline presses hit the upper chest, and decline presses target the lower chest.
Here's an example routine incorporating incline, decline, and flat presses with both dumbbells and barbells:
Warm-up with bodyweight push-ups (3 sets of 10-12 reps)
Incline Dumbbell Press (3 sets of 8-12 reps)
Barbell Bench Press (3 sets of 6-10 reps)
Decline Cable Fly (3 sets of 12-15 reps)
Remember, this is just a sample. You can adjust the exercises, sets, reps, and weight based on your experience and goals. Happy workout!
