Incline Bench Press Form Guide
Incline pressing develops the often-neglected upper chest. Set bench to 30-45 degrees—45 hits shoulders more, 30 is more chest-focused. Grip slightly wider than flat bench. Touch bar to upper chest/clavicle area, not mid-chest like flat bench. Lower with control, pause, press up and back slightly. The incline angle reduces how much weight you can use versus flat bench—expect 20-30% less.
