Incline poll

[slimpickings]

Just a little poll what degree do you guy like and use on the incline? I tend to use 30° but occasionally go to 45 but I feel to much anterior delt activation for my liking.

 

[N.O.V.]

I prefer the 30 also, I feel better pec activation. I do lots of overhead work, so I don't feel like the front felt work is necessary again for me.

depends tbh

I don't do much incline work. I feel it works my front delts too much even on the lowest bench setting. I mainly do incline DB flys or incline on the hammer strength. I get tremendous pain in my delts when I work them too hard. Not sure what it is but it's not bone, ligament or tendon related. It almost like getting too big of a pump and it hurts like a bitch. If I take a little longer rest between sets I can finish but it exhaust my delts so I just do any incline work last. But my answer to the ? would be the lowest setting so you're hitting the pecs and not your delts.

30. If I go to 45 it's more like Shoulder work and I don't do overhead anything because it kills my shoulders.

 

[BIGBOSS]

I go 30 and 45. It all depends on how I am feeling at the moment. ;D

 

[TSizemore]

Both, just depends on what I'm trying to accomplish.

I'm with BIGBOSS I tend to switch up a lot so I don't get adjusted to doing one thing.

Like the steeper 45 with a bar, and the lesser 30 with DB's. Just a "Feel" thing.

 

[Boltbreaker]

Both depending on what the goal is...
