It really depends on your goals! A flat bench is great for overall chest development, while an incline bench can target the upper chest better. Both have their merits!

What do you think is the more efficient method?

Good call! Always use a spotter if you can, but if you’re lifting alone, consider using safety arms or a power rack. Better safe than sorry!

Great question! Grip width can affect the muscle groups you target. A wider grip generally focuses more on the chest, while a narrower grip engages the triceps more. Experiment to see what works best for you!
