Everyone knows that good form on flat bench can boost one's bench by a large margin AND reduce the chance of injury. Arched back, shoulder blades pinched together, tucking with the elbows, leg drive, etc.
Recently, I have been using incline bench as my main chest exercise to try to stimulate more chest growth. I have been keeping my upper back tight but I find the movement kind of awkward. I am not quite sure where the bar path should be. Should it be closer to my clavicle? Or lower down? I find when its near my clavicle, it feels closer to a shoulder press...but the lift itself feels more stable. I find that when the bar is closer to my chest, it targets the chest better, but feels more unstable as I go up...
My max incline is roughly 90 pounds less than my max bench. So it needs work!
