Incline Bench Press???

[mmuscle]

Hi.

I was wandering what the consensus out there is with the incline bench press. I realise that it is a good general bulking up exercise for the chest, just as the flat bench press is, but does it offer any aditional benefits.

For example will the upper chest grow and shape better than it would by simply performing the flat bench press?

All opinions are welcome!!

I think they're a great exercise.

I stagger my Incline B-press routine with flat B-presses. (Not sure if this is the most effective way, but seems to me that mixing it up like this could be benieficial, and I do get results.)

Like so:

Week 1

Flat BB press
Incline DB press

Week 2

Incline BB press
flat db press

Week 3

Flat BB press
Incline DB press

Week 4

Incline BB press
flat db press

and yes, the upper chest will grow better with incline presses than flat press
