What angle do u do for Incline dumbell press?

[YSK]

Ive heard 15, and 45 degrees for the bench, im confused which is it?

 

[Mudge]

I'd say 30-45 is about typical. Some benches are adjustable, some are fixed and rather steep.

If I barbell bench I'm forced into a fairly steep angle, at my gym. If I dumbell bench I use the bottom setting.

A slight angle is best if is a adjustable bench....I have not taken a level to my benches so I have no clue.

You can eyeball it though.

The majority of the issue is comfort, find somewhere that is reasonably angled, but probably not more than 45 degrees.

30 degrees is the most comortable for me.

I use the lowest setting, about 30 degrees.

The steeper the incline the more you hit the anterior delts. I have used everything from 10-15 degrees to 50-60 degrees depending on what I'm shooting for.

i usually do it 30 deg. but when i want to hit my delts more and not involve my chest as much i use 45 or a little more

i use the lowest setting, if i use any higher my shoulders hurt

i like to have it 32.8527 degrees sometimes, othertimes when i'm trying to work shoulders i tend to have it at a steeper angle, like 32.8839 degrees..
