| Also, if you eat 82% of an apple exactly 21 minutes before your workout, your incline presses will be optimized. |
Really?
Does it matter if the apple is red or green?

| Just a quick question about incline benching? What are the best inclines on which to set the bench? |
| Posted by: ShakesAllDay Mar 27 2008, 02:46 PM |
| Normally the lowest setting... ~30deg. You can adjust up or down to switch it up. But, if I could choose ONLY one angle it would be lower than higher. |

Ok thanks! |

| Just remember the steeper the angle the more you work your shoulders. I'm sure you can figure out what to do now. |

| Unless your allergic to apples. I remember a thread a while back that someone was allergic to apples. |

| It depends on what your trying to work, when you incline press. |
| Posted by: Doogsy Mar 28 2008, 07:22 AM | ||
Just trying to hit the chest! |
| Posted by: willpiazza31 Mar 28 2008, 07:42 AM | ||||
Really? Not trying to hit your quads with this? |
| Posted by: azfittrainer Mar 28 2008, 09:43 AM | ||||
Are you wanting to hit the pec major, or more the pec minor? The flatter the bench, the more it hits the pec major, the higher the incline, the more it hits the pec minor and shoulder. |

| You can't change the angle on the BB incline bench at my gym. I'll bring my protractor to the gym tomorrow and let you guys know what it is. |
| Posted by: ftank Mar 28 2008, 10:31 AM |
I prefer 98°. |

| a protractor is a essential part of any gym bag |

I dunno, I'm pretty envious of both for their AP time..... I would've chewed either body to pieces: (say "Hi!" to the monkey)  |
