UNLOCK Your Upper Chest: Best Bench Angle
Struggling to grow your upper chest? It's important to choose the right bench angle when doing incline dumbbell press. Most people will better activate and grow their upper chest chest with a lower incline. Try this out and you'll feel the difference right away! #shorts #shortsfeed #shortsvideo #shortsyoutube

You're better off at 45° w/ arch. The arching creates more stability and decreases the decline by another 15°
I do them both. Incline 2x10-12 at 30 and 2x10-12 at 15. Then I go for flat and flyes. Works good so far.

No because your strength is so much decreased that it's not worth it. It's like doing front raises instead of ohp.

You got some of the best videos out there really enjoy them get a lot of great information. I follow you quite regularly.
Interestingly, 45 degrees gave me the best upper pecs soreness. Its pretty much individual. Sure, front delts were lit but thats the only angle I could work my upper pecs with.
15⁰ is just perfect
This depends on the person. I switched to 45 degree from 30 degree or lower and my upper chest blew up and my front delts have gotten bigger My rear delts are my most dominant shoulder muscle and then my side delts so I'm glad my front delts are growing

After a flat bench I think pi/6 radian is the best angle
I would absolutely love a standing OHP vs behind the neck press version of this video.
Basic physics can answer this. the more upright you are, the more shoulders and the less chest you use to lift the weight

Not that simple. Some of us are over 6ft2 and 30° hits more middle chest where as 4t is better for Chest
I notice 15° works my mid chest more and 30° works my upper more.
I prefer the db reverse grip press it has way more activation
EMGs do not provide evidence of muscle recruitment nor effectiveness of an exercise. They only provide some data about surface nerve activity.
I've started trying to grow my upper chest, I thought 45 seemed too much, I didn't feel much effect on my upper chest.
I just saved myself 12,000 bucks 😎
I say 30 to 45 degrees for the incline
Rising incline from incline 1 to 5
Every sports scientist with a degree immediately rolled their eyes and swiped up when he pulled eeg machine

@Jack-bi8mg
Жыл бұрын
Just do dips as they target lower chest, also flat bench and dumbell press also target the mid and lower chest so that would probably be enough
30° is the sweetest spot for a good upper pec hit, this is just my opinion...
Thanks! I assume it's same for decline?
Close grip bench hits the chest the best putting it right over you. Dumbells or barbell. Followed by cables over and under. Then flys.
How do you known the degrees on the bench My gym doesn't have that bench😫
Wow he used 12k machine to give us information that everyone knew since like forever!
Do we need to arch your back during this or what if we have a natural arch? Which angle is best?
45 to 30 is best
45° it's okay, with flies 👌🏼
I can tell this without using any machine this is quite common in gym bros😂

You can,45 is still better than just doing it flat. If you really are desperate just put a plate below the bench so your 0 angle becomes like 10-15

Solution: 1. Set it to 35 degrees. 2. Put a weight plate (or book stack) under the front leg of your bench which will lower the inclination down to 25-30 degrees. Good times!
How about you just push the bar from higher position?
I believe declined pushup will also help. Here's a one line of python code to calculate your angle: import math; 90-math.acos(chair_height/your_height) * 180/math.pi
I use 3 of them it does work
Now calves, please
