There is no ONE proper angle.Originally Posted by Elliot0409
30 degrees is a good place to start.
Too much delt: go lower
Too much lower pec: go higher.CSCS, ACSM cPT.

the more your shoulders overpower your chest the more likely you'll want a smaller inclineMy journal http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=5662511

Best to work at a low incline IMO. Around 15-30 degrees.
