I gave up flat bench in favour of inclines for nearly 6 months, it worked wonders for me.

Firstly you are 16, do not beat yourself up if you have a weak area, everybody has them icluding me. Start with an incline movement wether that be dumbell or barbell, the choice is yours. Just make sure you keep good form with every rep, that will mean dropping what you normally lift as most people lift far to much and dont stress the muscle fibres, just their joints = injuries.

Hello,
Bench Press is a great upper body exercise. It works the entire pectoral area, deltoids, and triceps. Secondary stress is applied to the latissimus dorsi muscles, biceps, and forearms to help stabilize and balance the barbell.
