The Proper Angle For Building Upper Pecs
Most of the time, whenever you see someone performing an exercise to help build and develop the upper chest, you’ll see them incline the bench at very high angles, at least 45 degrees or higher. However, that’s way off.
Muscle & Fitness magazine recently posted “If you upper pecs are lagging and you’re benching away on the standard 45 degree incline bench, try dropping it to 15-30 degrees. Research suggests that moves performed at 45 degrees place too much stress on the shoulders to adequately overload the upper pecs.”
