Now, if you want to make the most out of it, you can stop the weight

Bench angles between 30 — 56
degrees appear to produce greater clavicular head EMG amplitudes compared to
angles either above or below this range (Barnett et al. 1995, Lauver et al. 2015, Trebs et al. 2010, Luczak et al. 2013).
Therefore, the data appears to indicate that
bench angles between 30 and 56
degrees display superior pectoralis major clavicular head muscle activity than steeper or less inclined variations.
While decline and flat
bench angles both produced greater triceps muscle activity, the flat (0
degrees) condition displayed non-statistically greater muscle activity than all other conditions.
Assessing the effect of
bench angle, Barnett et al. (1995) found a difference between 40
degrees (superior) and -18, 0 and 90
degrees.
Comparing four different
angles of the
bench used during the narrow grip
bench press, Barnett et al. (1995) found a main difference in anterior deltoid muscle activity between -18
degrees and the other steeper
angles (0, 40 and 90
degrees).
Comparing the effect of
bench angle, Barnett et al. (1995) explored the difference in latissimus dorsi muscle activity between
bench angles of 18
degrees below horizontal, 0
degrees (flat), 40
degrees and vertical.
Day 2 - Shoulders, Legs, and Abs Military Press Barbell Upright Rows Bent Over Lateral Raises On Incline
Bench Squats Lunges (press with toes) Leg Extensions Stiff Legged Deadlifts Leg Curls Calf Raises Sit Ups (Go up to a 30
degree angle only) Leg Raises Swiss Ball Crunch Knee Ins
Also, changing the
bench press
angle from flat to > 28
degrees appears to increase deltoid muscle activity, except when using a narrow grip.
Steeper
bench angles (28 — 56
degrees) produce greater pectoralis major clavicular head activity.
Lauver et al. (2015) reported superior muscle activity while performing the
bench press at
angle of 30 and 45
degrees compared with -15 and 0
degrees.
These data indicates that greater deltoid muscle activity is displayed with
bench angles above 28
degrees compared with less steep
bench angles, although using a narrow grip tends to reduce this effect.
The sternocostal head is more highly activated in the
bench press with a wide grip and a decline or flat
bench angle, while the clavicular head is more highly activated in the
bench press with a narrow grip and an incline
angle between 30 — 56
degrees.
The clavicular head is more highly activated in the
bench press with a narrow grip and an incline
angle between 30 — 56
degrees.
Comparing four different
angles of the
bench used during the narrow grip
bench press, Barnett et al. (1995) found a main difference in triceps brachii muscle activity between -18
degrees and 0 (flat) compared with 40 and 90
degrees.
Thus it appears that the decline and flat
bench press
angles are superior to
angles above 40
degrees and the flat
bench press may be optimal, which is in line with the findings of Landin & Thompson (2010) noted above.
Assessing four different
bench angles, Barnett et al. (1995) found greater pectoralis major sternocostal muscle activity when using an incline
bench of 0 (i.e. flat) and -18
degrees (i.e. decline) than with an incline of 40 and 90
degrees, with a narrow grip.
Barnett et al. (1994) compared the barbell
bench press at a number of
bench press
angles including 18
degrees below horizontal (decline), flat, 40
degrees incline and vertical shoulder pressing.

bench.
What to do: Lie on your back with arms extended overhead, feet flexed, and heels resting on a wall (or calves on a
