Due to arthritis in my shoulders, I can no longer do incline presses of any kind without experiencing significant shoulder pain. Inclines cause way too too much shoulder impingement for me these days. Also, I’ve never got a lot of upper chest development from inclines. Neck presses on a flat bench worked better for me when I was able to do them without experiencing shoulder pain. Inclines are mostly a from delt exercise for me anyways regardless of how I perform them. Inclines make my front delts sorer than overhead shoulder presses for some unknown reason. That said, some people I know can’t do flat bench presses due to experiencing shoulder pain but they can do incline presses without pain.
