incline press

Slanted chest exercise

An incline press is a weight training exercise performed on a bench angled upward, typically 15 to 45 degrees.

The position shifts emphasis to the upper chest and front shoulders compared to a flat bench press: I added incline press to target my upper pecs.

Usually performed with a barbell or dumbbells.
