I bring my own bench to the gym. I modified the 2nd notch to be 23.8 degrees which is the best for my upper chest
That's good but try 24.25, you're wasting gains working at 23.8
@@aesop2733 maybe I can buy another bench because that angle is too close to my modified angle
Bringing your own bench is crazy
@@r.y3987 I bring my own Rogue Squat Rack, too
@@aesop2733me personally, I find 26.8345962 to be the best angle for the upper chest.
My personal preference lies somewhere around 360 degrees. Amazing pumps and soreness guaranteed.
So flat bench then?
Real men do inverted bench press💯
@@justanerdwholiftweights4061spherical bench
these muscle heads don't even train for functionality. the 360 degree bench trains the whole body making it the best bench for athletes
@@susge7282 and take a pic of it like Maverick and Goose.
I started with 60°, went with 45° for most of the time and recently switched to 30° and I feel it the best
Me too bro
@@Almadanimdo you arch your back when doing it at 30 degree?
Bruh, wth were you targeting at 60 degrees?
@@Grynfelt Upper chest bruh. Ofc I felt it in my shoulders, which is why I switched
@@ngovkimhour5437 I always arch to some degree
I’m glad you ended up the video right there its a very important aspect of working out and I feel like most people tend to forget about the basics. that’s what I love about you, you only tell what people need to know 🤟🏽💪🏽
Thanks bro. That was... Profound.
Priceless insight
It's good advice
I only do chest press at 69 degrees, arching my back by throwing it back and making sure my cheeks clap with every rep. Thanks Dr. Mike.
Nice
Yes and make sure you do 420 reps. No more no less.
Bro 😆
🤣😂
WOW!🫦
Lol Mike rocking the faygo shirt. He probably bumps ICP when going heavy
My thoughts exactly
I’ve seen Mike at the Gathering of the Juggalos a handful of times over the past decade. You can tell it’s him even with the face paint and all that jazz. I’ve spoken to him a few times and he’s just as funny in real life. Typically at night time he’s tripping balls and goes tent to tent telling people to slow their fucking reps down. None of this was true.
Awesome short, Mike is a proud juggalo.
Whoop whoop
I thought the same thing. Stole my joke
Mmfclww
Whoop whoop !!!
Disgusting
That shirt is dope
Most benches are designed that the first click up is about 10-15 degree and thats a sweet spot.
Personally I prefer 30 degrees to compensate for an arch - that lets me stick my chest out more while maintaining a "real" angle that's probably close to 10-15 degrees.
Not for me. For me it's more like 30°.
15 not the best for upper chest but very good for overall chest stimulation. I like doing flat, 15, and 30
For me that works best too. I have problematic shoulders and find I can get the best results from dumbbells at this angle, arched back, outer shoulder width depth. Maybe more akin to a flat at this point, but it is one of the few I can do where my front delt or triceps don’t give out first and my shoulder is screaming in pain.
15 degrees is easier because it's almost a flat bench but I can't feel my upper chest sore the next day. So I switched back to 30 degrees. I also feel a bit of my front delts being sore but also my upper chest.
Goddam genius Mike !!!
Yep! I agree with you sir
Great video - and I need that shirt.
I did 30 degrees for a long time, but I felt my upper chest more at a 45 just a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I just arch too much.
Or some variation helps.
It's not necessarily bad to arch. That just changes the angle obviously. For me really getting the upper chest primarily works at a 45 degree angle and 30 to get more mid chest into it. Both with a fairly large arch. Without the arch it would be about 15 degrees less on both
I usually switch between 45 and 30 every few months
Interesting. I feel like I might arch quite a bit but use 30 degrees and my upper chest is always pumped. To each their own!
45 is best bro it works perfectly fine for me
The Faygo Shirt! I want it!
So true! I've always felt more chests contraction and pump on a lower incline compare to earth 45 where I feel more shoulder impingement. In saying that I can also feel more lower chest portion from flat bench when arching upper thoracic
i was doing 20* for the longest time, now im at 30* and it feels so much better.
Dr. Mike looking freaking MASSIVE bro.
When I do lower angle presses, I can get way more ROM than higher angle presses and I like that
Side note, fire shirt selection by Dr.Mike
5 sets 45 degrees, 5 set 30 degrees, 5 sets 15 degrees and 5 sets flat, followed by 5 sets flies 15 degrees, 5 sets flat, then 18 sets cable pull at 18 different angles followed by 20 sets on pec machine. My typical chest routine 3 times per week. If you do less you are sissified
I think you're already sissified. Those are rookie numbers
U gotta match the number of sets & reps to the corresponding angle (degrees)
So, 45 sets, each being 45 reps for 45 degrees setup
For warm-up, u start from angle 0 to angle 69 also matching each angle to ur rep & set range
Two holes above flat works best for me
I can't get over the faygo shirt 😂🤣
I bring a protractor and little shims to the gym so I can get the angle just right. 26.9° works best for the concentric but 32.1° for the eccentric
Dr mike is a juggalo
Mike is a juggalo!
I love that you said a study gives us a clue not gives us the whole picture! You really are a scientist 🥹🥹
Yea but most people arch tho, and you should for extra stability, but I’m pretty sure in that study they didn’t take that into consideration
keep in mind if you arch and retract your shoulders the angle you set up becomes lessened to take that into account.
if you really want to find the best angle ask a friend to feel you up while doing reps and see what muscles get engaged with what excercise. i know weird but thats how you really find out which muscles are doing all the work.
Loving the shirt my man...What's the best Faygo flavor? Because it's Faygo Cola for me since i grew up off of it the most second place is Moon Mist and third place gotta had it Farygo Red.
2.clicks for me
Idk what degree that is
I'm not that smart
Lol
probably an associate's degree
@@prointernetuseror a communication/psychology degree
20 or 30
I usually always go to about 33 degrees or so, thinking I need to account for the arch. Next time I'm going to try a slightly lower angle.
you should go higher(45) if you have a big arch
Exactly
I use 20° on the inclined. Though I'd have to try out 30° as I'm close to hitting a plateau with 20°.
True facts yes
Facts. The best angle is the angle where you feel it the most 💯
When I do incline bench, I really only have a slight incline personally. It feels more natural for my shoulders than flat benching, but I want to minimize deltoid activation at the same time
Every Florida SoundCloud rapper is looking for your shirt
My preference is lying at a 180 degree angle on my bed
Also depends on how much it arch your back
That shirt is fresh as fux
For me 30 degrees is optimal for building the frontal shelf for athletic/real life strength applications 🤙🏼💪🏻
Nice shirt!
How to make video about answering question without doing so, well done. Back in a day it was called clickbait
The shirt is done! I used to put 4 ounces of cough syrup in those because they had the best flavor
How did I know he was gonna say this lol

The true science of sports is realizing that you have to use the scientific method for all people, all programs and all sports, you have to experiment with the selection of exercises, the volume, intensity and frequency of training and diet and you always have to keep correcting because everything works but only under very specific circumstances
45 degrees with an arch into close to 30 degrees or 30 degrees with a flat back is best for upper pecs
All I know is I did incline smith machine today at 30 degrees with the bar coming just below clavicles with a fairly wide grip and I felt hella upper chest activation and deep all round chest fibres being stretched.
2 notches up from flat does it for me.
15° all the way.
Brother. o7
For some reason I get pain in my right front of shoulder when I incline, I like it as well, trying to find a way around it
Yeah
Yup.
Do I feel my upper chest? Yes. That's the angle then.
I’ve never done bench press. Best tips for a beginner? (Not a beginner working out, just never done bench press)
Yeah 30 degrees is absolutely perfect for me.
For me, I like dumbell incline around 30. Barbell incline, I like at 45.
What about when you're arching? I noticed that if I arch and really stretch my chest, a 30 degree angle becomes a flat bench.. so I keep it about 45 now.
For Incline bench are you supposed to bring the bar to your lower chest, mid chest or higher portion of the upper chest ? I've seen it all and they all claimed to be experts lol
At first, this looked like another one of those 'It gets better' videos.
When I hear study I swipe
I set the incline bench to 4. It's probably a 10-15° angle if you include my arch, which isn't severe
W shirt
Faygo!!
Standing bench press is the best
can i target my upper chest by adjusting the pec fly machine so I'm sitting low and reaching at a bit of a 30 degree angle up?
I actually do decline for my upper chest and calves.
How about DB shoulder press angle. I hate it straight up 90degrees
15 Degrees Crew has entered the chat
Man needed a 7 years of schooling to tell you, try different things and see what works for you lol.
Love it.
Everyone gets bent out of shape about special angles and crap that is 4.6% better blah blah blah. Just try a few angles and see which you like. If it feels good and makes it easy to hit the muscles you want to hit - do that.
5000°C is where it works the best for me.
Mike be running with the hatchet lol
70 degrees is best for me anything lower and it gets a bit too chilly and anything higher I start to feel a little hot
I always had a suspension he was a Juggalo....if you know you know.
So..... you're telling me that I'm an individual and unique, and that what works for other people might not work for me? BLASPHEMY!!
30 degrees GOAT
Which angle is best for triceps activation?
Neutral or close grip works triceps more.
Now to answer your question. I assume the higher incline will work the triceps more. In my experience i got the best triceps development ever doing standing ohp which would be equivalent to 90 degrees
I’ve been doing it at 40 degrees but I’ll trying it at 30 degrees to see how it feels.
looool I respect the troll job
First time is see mike with a fitting shirt, they are usually too short :D
Imagine that
THAT SHIRT IS FYE COACH
I find that the angle our body creates when incline pressing does not match the angle of the bench at all, quite often we create less of an incline because of our build. I always go steeper because of this. For me i like the bench to be around 45 degrees.
So presses for the middle and upper chest, play with the angle to get different degrees of stimulus between chest, delts and triceps. Which exercises hit the lower pec?
Dips and decline bench
For Incline bench are you supposed to bring the bar to your lower chest, mid chest or higher portion of the upper chest ? I've seen it all and they all claimed to be experts lol
My gym has a non adjustable incline bench so I just sit lower on it to compensate
I started with 45 but it was too hot so i went down to 27.5.
What you know about faygo?
Whoop whoop lol
Its the streoids mike.. Without them say goodbye to it
30
Love the skirt
Lmao 🤣🤣 Right?!
Today I learned Dr. Mike is a closeted juggalo! 🤡
Faygo 🤙
An exercise therapist wearing a soda T shirt is an oxymoron….. that’s like saying someone is a virgin but pregnant
"Faygo"
Rocking the Grape FAYGO shirt. My ninja!!
Feel it more at 60 degrees
