What Muscles Does an Incline Bench Press Work?
According to “Strength Training Anatomy,” an incline bench press is a chest press performed on an incline bench with an angle of 45 to 60 degrees. This angle reduces stress on the lower portions of the pectoral muscles and places it on the upper portion and the shoulders. Because the lower portion of the pectoral muscle is the strongest, most people aren’t able to incline press as much weight as they can flat press.
