i would like your opions on whether it would be better to do incline bench first before flat. Do you think it is a good idea.
If you do incline first will your flat bench strenght improve as your incline bench improves.

what do you think

I personally think that incline pressing is far superior to flat pressing. I always do some type of incline movement before I do any flat pressing. Usually I will do something like this for chest:

Incline Press
Flat Dumbell Press
Hammer Strength Incline
Flyes

my chest workout one week is

hammer strength incline
hammer strength decline
dumbell flyes
high cables
pullovers at the end to get a good stretch

next week is

dumbell incline
decline dumbell flyes
low cables
hammer strength flyes or pec deck
pullovers for stretch

i never do flat bench, i never could tell that it helped me, IMHO it is the least important exercise for chest, and alot of people open themselves to injusry when doing it.
