so what you're saying is that when you throw your lat's into it you can bench more, no duh. just to doregular DB presses on perhaps a slight incline and latpullsdowns, beter gains faster. Who cares if it's easier. and for your information, at the gym there is a machine in which you uch pull down in a manner somewhat similar to a decline bench(albeit it would be more equivilent to a70-80% decline ). I'm doing reps at 250 on it.
i don't really work out to get higher stats, just to have a healthy good looking body. my triceps are pretty big compared to the rest of my arm or my bicep, i guess it's genes or whatever but that's probably why my bench is somewhat higher. i hate dumbell presses because i can barely balance the dumbells, it's annoying i'm fine with 40 pound dumbells, but past that i can't seem to balance it :/ anyways, next year i am planning to get big. my gym teacher (used to competitively weightlift when he was in highschool and college or whever he went) but i think he herniated a disk or something and hasn't done it as heavily as he did before. so yeah, anyway, he said he'd help me with a diet/routine so i can gain weight and keep my definition, which would be awesome. if i don't reach my 180 pound goal by graduation i'd prob settle for something like 149 pounds with a lower BF% like 8-9 maybe. but i don't think gaining weight is too hard, just eat more than you burn and be patient. and if someone tells you "get fat and then work out and turn that fat into muscle" they're ----ing retarded, because you can't turn fat into muscle.
