How to perform?
The purpose of the incline press is to focus more of the work on the upper pecs. The main benefit in performing incline presses is to develop the upper portion of the pectoral muscles. When the bench is set at an incline (15 to 30 degrees) it elevates the shoulders and lowers the pelvis as if reclining in a chair. This variation emphasizes anterior deltoids with little emphasis at the upper (clavicular) head of the pectoralis major.
