What's the least damaging to your shoulders? Flat bench, incline bench, or decline bench?

My shoulders hurt doing decline and especially incline, I just stick to flat and incline dumbbell press

this makes sense, thanks
same question applies to push ups though, especially if you need to elevate your legs for more weight

post body right now, dyel

OHP, no matter how paradoxal it seems to be

Form is easiest to maintain on pushups. The arch that most bench pressers try to get in the lower back is natural in a pushup position instead of trying to artificially recreate on the bench. Also, you can get a weight vest. Ultimately, pushups and dips (weighted) will give you chest definition (and is safer) without the boob look that gays brought in to lifting in the '70s with bench.

No bench, the floor

It's so fucking easy

Depends on the person. Some people tolerate them all fine.

For me, I found neutral grip to be way, way better for my shoulders. Shoulder pain was stopping me on all hypertrophy range sets on bench.

I switched to dumbells neutral grip and realized how much pain had been holding me back.

I personally love weighted dips. I normally stick to 50% bodyweight for higher reps but will do 75% for lower reps. The neutral grip solves my issues. I know weighted dips do not work for everyone.

I would try a few and go from there.

The other problem is people do way to many push exercises to pull ones. I try to stay close to 1:1. You see routines with two types of bench, flies, and overhead presses, but only one row. Your weighted pull up should be higher than your bench for the same number of reps, and this is not true for most people.

Some people swear by face pulls. I find heavy seal rows get rear delta enough, but not ever gym has chest supported rows.

For linear progression with dumbells just try for more reps week to week, or do drop sets and improve on the combo of a heavy weighy and lighter one.

Tore my pec on flat bench a week ago. Fuck that shit

non of those are damaging to your shoulders unless you are a retard
