CHEST: 

 

Upper Chest (clavicular head of the pectoralis major)

Inclined Bench Press
Most Effective Angle for Inclined Bench Press to Upper Chest ( clavicular head of the pectoralis major):

• Research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20512064
• Conclusion: 
• Activation of the clavicular head of the pectoralis major was significantly greater at 44 degrees compared to 0 degrees (p = 0.010), at 56 degrees compared to 0 degrees (p = 0.013), and at 44 degrees compared to 28 degrees (p = 0.003).
• SO: Inclined Bench should be set between a 44 and 56 degree angle;

Middle Chest (sternocostal head of the pectoralis major)

Bench Press

• Research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20512064
• Conclusion:Activation of the sternocostal head of the pectoralis major was significantly greater at 0 degrees compared to 28 degrees (p = 0.013), at 0 degrees compared to 44 degrees (p = 0.018), at 0 degrees compared to 56 degrees (p = 0.001)
• SO: Bench Press must be set at 0 Degrees;
