Same, it depends on the muscle insertion, chk your calves, if it stops midway, bad luck, there is a limit on what you can do..naturally( without enhancement, implants or drugs) give you examples of people that are not blessed when it comes to insertions, flex wheeler and arnold, most of their extremities are long with small wrist and ankles, pero ang ganda once lumaki, problem is we dont take steriods, hindi lumalaki ang calves and forearms if youre not enchanced..may pros naman pag pangit ang insertions..tall and long legged most of the time...

Mas effective ba ang flat vs. incline pagdating sa bench press? Salamat mga lodi.

Comparing both? inclines, but those are not the best for chest development..

^We only have those two in our home but the inclined one is what we always use whenever we lift, since the flat one is kept somewhere in an isolated area..

If you have access to dips the better..

Decline is my favorite. It makes your chest look shapely and well defined. My chest muscles respond very well on this exercise.

Flat, not so much. It's more on the outer area of the chest. Not so much development. Incline, it hits the upper chest area, but I don't want that developed too much. It doesn't look great on me.

Anyway, everyone is different. So, just try and see what works best for you.

Yes sir, gusto ko ring makita how i would perform on a decline and see the different area of chest development vs. the two pero sadly wala kami nito sa bahay eh.

Kaya coming from an incline, I'm thinking if i would switch na to the flat one since sinasabi ng kasama kong pinsan na para ibang chest area naman daw ang ma-develop. Yun nga lang magkakaroon ng lipatan sa equipment bago namin masimula yun.

Ah thank you for your reply, saw it just now. What do you mean “if it stops midway”? Middle of my lower leg? Mine is until the middle. For years, I’ve been trying to improve my calves but still no results. My quads are developed now, so sobrang halata na talaga ng calves ko. The quads to calves ratio is now so bad that I’m not comfortable wearing shorts in the gym.

Yes...forearms at calves..kung hanggang dun lang yung insertion, so you cant change it, you can make it a little bit rounder, but change the shape..no can do

Somehow, I’ve learned to accept na ganun na talaga calves ko. Kaso nakaka-tanggal confidence na talaga magshorts, lalo na pag alam mong alam ng mga tao na matagal ka na nag-gygym. Some people just don’t get it, magbibigay sila ng samples ng mga taong may malalaking calves. Pero hindi nila magets na yung mga sample nila, malaki na talaga calves even before they started working out. Wala pa akong nakitang tao na payat ang calves then lumaki. Kung meron man sobrang liit na improvement lang.
