I'm doing the 5x5 program and I know that for monday and fridays workout the flat bench is a part of it, however, I remember someone quoting bill starr on these forums of him saying that incline bench was more beneficial for strength and function rather than the flat bench, and that the only reason why bill starr incorporated a flat bench instead of incline was because flat benches were more common than incline benches...so which lift is more beneficial for developing strength, incline bench press or flat bench press? Thank you in advance.
