Bench Setup for Shoulder Press

Bigger Stronger Leaner Competitive Bodybuilding

I’ve been experimenting with the angle of the bench on my shoulder presses recently, and I’m not sure which is more recommended…

a) level 8 is as close to a 90 degree angle as possible, but obviously is harder so I use less weight

b) level 7 is one level less vertical, and i can lift 4kg more on each side at this level.

But which is going to be more beneficial for shoulder growth?

I personally do B on SEATED shoulder press because my back arches too easily if I’m at a complete 90 degree angle. However, if I do military press (which just means standing) then I have to be completely upright. I go back and forth on which ones I do.
