Thread: incline bench

I'll never understand the fixation people have on bench, bicep isolation and lack of interest in lower body. So I can't help.

45 degrees.

Exactly. The worst thing is that it's so repetitive to tell people that lower body workouts are soooo important, and that it's much better to stick to compound lifts, and biceps curls for beginners are pretty useless, ... yawn, you know the rest.

To be honest, the 45 degrees was a rough estimate, I think it depends on a few factors, i imagine the greater the incline, the greater the shoulders are used in the lift. My bench at home prolly doesnt go any higher than 25 degrees however.

It doesn't matter. Higher incline => more shoulders, less pec work.
