whats everyone's strength???

ORIGINAL: dudely lubekin

  Take the bench press, where there are different techniques used by so many people.  Where do you put your hands?  Do you focus on an explosive concentric movement, a smooth even pace, a slow eccentric?  Do you touch the bench to your upper chest, somewhere between the clavicle and sternum, or just above the sternum, about even with the lower pec?  Are your feet on the floor, on the bench, or in the air?  Is your back flat against the bench with your shoulder girdle relaxed, or is it arched, or is it arched and your shoulders are contracted and pulled as close and as low as possible?  From a physiological standpoint, should bench press be your main chest builder, or should inclines?  And what level of incline, based on how your individual technique effects the plane in which your pecs contract?  (I'm a stickler for this one, I prefer incline for building muscle, bench for strength, or both for a general workout)
