Incline vs. Reverse Grip


Incline Bench Press -  The muscle activity of their upper pecs was only about 5% more than the muscle activity of their upper pecs during the flat bench press. 


Reverse Grip Incline Press - The muscle activity of their upper pecs was 30% greater than when they did the bench press with a standard overhand grip.




Question : Which one is better?
Answer : Since muscle activity is the measurement of how many muscle fibers are being used during an exercise, reverse-grip bench presses appear to be a better exercise for the upper chest than incline bench presses.
