Incline Bench Issue

[Ascendancyy]

Hey guys,

I've been doing incline db presses on a 30 degree incline on my routine for a while, but I want to switch over to the barbell soon. However, I noticed my gym's barbell incline benches are stuck at 45 degrees, which feels a bit awkward on the shoulders and hits the front delts more. Should I stick to the db's or will the 45 degree barbell press be good?

Edit: This is for my chest/tri day, not shoulders.

Do both and alternate!

Sit your ass forward in the seat to reduce the angle.


If that's still not enough then use dumbbells.
