Pushed the weight up a bit this week, and probably still left 1-2 reps in the tank on both sets with 135.
Worth noting: one of the strongest guys in the gym mentioned to me this day that he didn't really like the High-Incline bench for strength development very much. He said he gets better carry-over to both his flat bench AND his front press from the "regular" incline bench. In the case of our gym, that's actually an unusual, arched incline bench. You can see both benches in this picture:
The High Incline is in the foreground and you can kind of see the Arched Incline behind it and to the right (also reflected in the mirror on the back-wall).
The guy said he thought the High Incline was better for body-building. The guy is strong as hell and has been working out of that gym for a long time, so I'll take it on faith that he's spent some time with both and that his opinion is based on experience.
No skin off mine either way, as I was only hitting this for a couple of high-rep weeks as a break before I got back to pushing the other incline anyway. Interesting feedback, though!
