The flat bench press does a better job of developing your pecs. Many trainers agree that the incline press is safer on your pecs, shoulders, and rotator cuffs. With so many exercises to strengthen your chest, the chest press with either bench will be effective.
Should you go heavy on leg extensions?
The leg extension as an exercise relies on the torque involved in moving the weight, so you don’t need to load the machine up to the max to get benefit. While the quads are extending the knee the weight is resting just on top of the ankle joint. So you can benefit from not using too much weight.
