Assistance work question for the overhead press
Would 5x10 incline press carryover well in increasing the overhead press or more of a bench assistance? I’m leaning toward a carryover into most pressing movements.

That will largely depend on how steep the incline is, but it’s probably not a bad decision for an assistance exercise if you are working on OH pressing and your bench.
Training the OH press (and incline bench, if that’s what you choose) typically has better carryover to the bench than vice versa.
Awesome, thanks for the input.
