Any alternative to incline bench? I asked on another forum but they didn't actually answer my question. I have a shoulder injury that I'm trying to work around and I can't do incline of any kind.

First time using the smith machine today. I think it's my new fav piece of equipment. The leg extension gave me hell as usual and is still my least favorite. I did the shoulder press today and my right shoulder was in pain. I couldn't even lift 50lbs on it. I ended up at either 10 or 20 just tried to lift through the pain. I did a glutes workout on the elliptical and now my cheeks are sore when I sit.

:why: I tried using the smith machine (desperation), since the squat racks were taken, for shrugs....such a patronizing machine. :wrist:

Thinking of starting that routine to take it easy on my joints.

Dont do it. Stick to flat bench and shoulder press. Incline bench is just a mix of the two.

I have been doing behind the neck presses on the shoulder press machine (sitting w/my face facing the bench). shyt's lovely
