Incline Bench Press

I got in a heated arguement in the gym this morning about this exercise. It was over where you bring the bar to on the way down. Some people bring it right below their chins and others across their nipples. I assumed there wasn't much difference in the way it works the chest. does anyone know if one is better then the other?

simple. the lower you bring it, the more total muscle it incorporates; however, I like to bring them right under my chin. Not a huge difference between the two. Doing them higher will increase the chance of a shoulder injury and usually requires that you use a little less weight.

You are doing incline correct? Well then you should bring the bar down to your upper chest because you are working your UPPER chest. You also want to bring your hands in to give yourself a narrower grip. Not too far though, you don't want to work your tris too much. Later, Bigwil

inclyne is used for a reason it works upper chest where ever you bring the bar it will work more upper than lower bring it to where you like i always change hand spaceing and where i bring the bar and rep tempo ect so every time i use it its never the same movement twice i dont know if this helped but its what i come up with lol
