Why is it that my incline bench is so close to my regular flat bench? Have you ever heard of someone that could incline more then they could flat bench?

I can probably lift about the same on incline as flat. But I do mostly incline work. I have not BB flat benched in about 2 years. I occasionally do warmups with 225 on flat & I get about the same # of reps as I would on incline.

I think most who regularly flat bench can lift a lot more flat than incline. I always equated 315 on flat to about 285 on incline, back when i did both.
