What's the purpose of incline benching?

[silles]

Variation. I'm never going to compete in any kind of powerlifting or olympic lifting, so the exercises I use are not always geared to driving up the big three, nor will I perform the full olympic versions of any lift.

[WestyHeadbanger]

OK. I know LAM does incline. I was just wondering if it helps ur bench.

[silles]

Oh, of course it helps your bench, if you increase your incline, I would *expect* to increase my flat bench, but I think the carryover would be different for everyone depending upon personal weakness.
