What is the best angle for incline DB presses?

[hockeynut_9922]

I am just using a multifunction bench at home. It has 3 positions for the incline bench.

Is there a better position than others for DB presses?

It's a personal preference. Some guys like it higher than others. It's where you feel it more


When we do right nobody remembers, when we do wrong nobody forgets. H.A.M.C

^^ Agreed, but make sure you're not too far up, I see guys make this mistake a lot...

Flat dumbell presses is a very under-rated move IMO......

Hockey rules.

30-45 degrees. Whatever doesnt hurt your shoulders.

Lowest incline you can. i put it to 30

45 degrees is where I feel it more in the upper chest, anything above that I feel more in my front delts.

Low- 30 degrees and neutral grip world best for me.

Thanks for tips on the low setting. I used that tonight and i thought my pecs were going to explode. Also much better on the shoulders.

45 for presses, 30 for Inc flyes.

I just watched a video with Charles Glass training this guy, he had the guy doing DB Presses @ 60 degree angle, incline of course, shows it hits upper chest better...
