I start at 45 (pin #5) and do 3 sets of 5 on each pin until I hit flat ... I just like volume .. lots and lots of volume. Don't think there is an optimal though

The 'right' bench angle will be whatever causes the trainee to feel the work exactly where he wants it to hit him. It may be just a few degrees above flat or it might be as steep as 60-70 degrees.

No brain, no gain.
"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon

That is NOT a right angle. A right angle is always 90 degrees.Originally Posted by Retoaded
this right angle is 270 degrees...
In your image the section of the circle that is not dotted is 90 degrees and THAT is the right angle.
