Dumbbells are better. With flat bench you miss the top part of the contraction because you can't bring your hands closer together.
Cable flies are also GoAT

keep doing bb bench but just add dumbells to your routine.

Been lifting for two years, here's what I've learned:
>upper/lower, push/pull/legs, full body training is far more superior to the brosplit.
>Intermittent fasting isn't just for cutting; it increases GH levels, making it optimal for bulkin as well; eating big meals less frequently is better than eating small ones.
>having some sort of periodization in your program is mandatory for intermediate-advanced lifters.
>cutting carbs and going keto is the best way to cut and feel like an absolute piece of shit

>learn to breathe and brace properly
>grip the bar as hard as you can, muscles work synergistically
>start front squatting
>IF helped me get leaner than ever; whether it was the actual effects of the fasting or the decreased calorie intake I dont know. What I know is that it worked for me

>Reverse Pyramid training is the way to go.
>PPL and Intermittent fasting are not memes. Leaner, stronger, and more aesthetic than I've ever been.
>Count your fucking calories
>Straight Bar diddly is superior to trap bar diddly in every way.

I've done SS, brosplits, SSL, and made my own routines. Tbh it didn't really matter what routine I was running as much as what good I was eating. Protein consumption is #1 importance.

You look like shit.

Try switching to flat bd bench for 6 weeks and then switch back to flat bench and see if you haven't improved.

>>you should take up rock climbing for grip strength and back gains

well bouldering uses pretty small walls and there are varying levels of difficulty. people who do it have sick core and forearms
