Degree of Incline on presses

[Ronnie Rowland]

What do most hear prefer?

I feel like at 45 degree I am resorting to using rear delts too much BUT with lower incline I am not at enough of an incline to make the movement different than flat presses.

Thoughts or suggestions?

A low incline is enough because you are now bringing the bar down to the upper chest instead of the lower chest when doing flat presses!

Thanks Ronnie & Fire! I figured as much just from trying different degrees. Ronnnie can you answer me this regarding your statement. Do you recommend bringing the bar down to right above the nipple (silly point of reference) or a bit higher on the chest?

A bit technical I know but I am at the point where I am really concentrating my chest movements...keeping my movements in good controlled rythm...or trying.
