Which Incline press is best?

[Uk Boy]

I prefer Incline press with Smith machine.

Definitely dumbells for me. However, I've never tried inclines on a Smith before.

i alternate dumbells and barbell

Mix it up and get the benefit from all three.

I prefer DB's myself

Pretty Much depends on You. I have short arms and big body, so I geta better stretch from Dumbells, so that is what I use.

Dumbbells give me a deeper stretch

I like dumbells the most but switching it up is a necessity

I like the barbell, but i am in the minority, i know.

 

[hornedfrogs07]

Dumbells and barbell ONLY for me. I never do smith anything anymore, b/c I hurt my knees/back doing smith squats, and shoulders doing incline presses. I'd personally like to see all smiths melted into scrap because of my experiences.

dumbells are awesome....best stretch ever and an awesome pump

I use a little narrower grip on incline smith press and I get an unbelievable contraction at the peak of the movement. My mind muscle conection is maxed out in this motion. I can feel my clavicular pectoralis major squeezing super hard. I also put the incline up one notch above 40 degrees. Give it a shot. Use a lighter weight and focus on the squeeze.

dumbell for sure

I use a narrower grip on the free weight barbell, after reading Glass talk about how he liked it better for taller guys, i tried it and definately feel it more, my weight dropped a little bit in the beginning but it is back to where it was.

i used to do bar all the time, just switched to dumbells..i like it better for chest development, but once i get to the 135's and 160's, my form goes to shit because my wrists want to snap controlling the weight..any suggestions..

Use wrist locks.

I like Hammer Incline Presses for upper chest the best! No controlling the weight, just up and down in a smooth motion, focusing on the pecs and not balancing the weight!
