you're benching 2 plates (100kg)
this is what my friend told me today, mind you hes benching 140kg, and deading 5 plates.
i asked him why i didnt have proper size towards the bottom of my chest like i do at the top, it goes inwards. asked him whether i should do more incline, hes just focus on getting your whole chest stronger and bigger, told me he didnt have proper mass and shape at the bottom until he was benching 100kg.
any truth in this?

your chest is still going to shape even if your benching 20kg as long as the lift is challenging for you, the only reason he noticed proper shape when benching 100kg was because hes chest is stronger and bigger than when he was benching 50kg.

kinda curious about this too, because my chest in general is kinda small, so it does make sense to have good mass before the whole chest starts to fill out. imo

my biceps are developing great, but i can't curl 135 so they're in the shape of an octagon for now.

When I was just doing Flat Bench, my chest looked a little out of proportion; the upper half was much smaller. Since I've started to do Incline Benching as well, my chest looks much bigger and stronger overall and it's improved my lifts.
I also recommend Dips; great Chest and Tricep developers.

He's right actually. I used to bench 95kg and my chest had horrible shape, then when I went to 100kg it just went perfect.

And OP, I think he was noticing improvement. If your friend keeps lifting, he will probably think the same thing for a higher weight.
