Sep 8, 2011 10:58 AM: The best exercise for building the chest. I recommend doing this at the start of your chest workout. Compound movements should always be first anyways.

Jul 29, 2011 9:22 PM: How is benching's rating so low?????? Its THE best upper body exercise there is and imo its the second best exercise at all behind deadlift with squats coming in a close 3rd. If you dont like it because you cant do alot of weight then you need to do it more so you can do more weight. Anyone who can...+See More
