For effective strength training right at home, nothing beats a high-quality flat bench. But should you invest in a adjustable flat bench that adjusts for incline? A recent study in the European Journal of Sport Science claims that the answer is a resounding YES.

For starters, the study confirmed that strength training with a flat bench in its horizontal position activates both the upper and lower pectorals major during presses and lifts. Second (and more important), the study also confirmed that performing lifts at a 30- and 45-degree incline boosts muscle activation by anywhere between 26-50%, depending on the weight being lifted.
