Incline Chest

The Incline Chest refers to a category of exercises that target the upper portion of the pectoralis major (clavicular head) by positioning the body at an incline—typically between 30° and 45°. Common variations include the Incline Dumbbell Press , Incline Barbell Press , and Incline Machine Press , all of which help build upper chest strength, improve shoulder stability, and enhance overall upper-body aesthetics.

By adjusting the angle, this movement shifts focus from the mid-chest to the upper chest, making it essential for balanced development and functional pushing power.
