    No incline press? BB or DB

    How about Abs and Forearms

    no need for incline press if you are doing shoulder press (I consider them both vertical pressing movements...but that's just me).

    I don't think in terms of "shoulers" and "chest."

    I think in terms of planes of movement and joint actions.

    How about if the incline is less/equal to 45 degrees...would it be a horizontal push?? If it were to go over 45 then I would think it were targeting shoulders as a vertical push??? Not sure...

    yup.

    I should have been more specific. I catergorize them as:

    incline angle < 45 degrees = horizontal press
    incline angle >/= 45 degrees = vertical press
