Incline Bench

[tman55]

What angle is the bench supposed to be at on incline?

Thanks!

I've always heard 45 degrees.

Whatever angle you want, I like to keep the angle fairly low. The higher it is, the more your shoulders come into play, the lower it is, the more chest is a factor

30-35 is the max id go with incline bench. 45 is too much delt imo.

I agree, I usually set mine bench on position 3 whic equates to about 30 degrees.

Just an FYI, I think most standard incline benches are set at around 45 degrees. That's what it looks like anyway.

The ones at my gym happen to be high, so I dont do any overhead pressing.
