Vince Gironda incline dumbbell press

[cinch]

I was reading that Vince Gironda recommended doing incline dumbbell bench presses with palms facing inwards (like a hammer grip) as the usual grip (palms facing forwards) puts more emphasis on the delts.
Does anyone on here use this method for dbell bench pressing?

I go in between the two, I just press were feels most natural and strongest.

Thats what Im doing at the moment as palms facing forwards seem to be giving my wrists a bit of a hammering.

what is this fashion with digging up vince gironda stuff on here?

if you feel it more in your delts you are possibly using too much weight and your form is crap basically. use a lighter weight, work on your form (check exrx.net if your stuck) and learn to feel the muscle contracting on each rep. when you have that mastered increase the weight.

That's my fault!

Like bion, I hold the weights where it feels most comfortable which is between the two extremes.

Also with inclime, you need a very shallow incline as a deeper incline involves the front delts too much.

Have you got any of his exercise dvds? He seems like an interesting guy, not sure about the use of sissy squats, but then again Ive never tried them.
Approximately what angle incline do you use?

No DVD's but I've got his book Unleashing the Wild Physique.

With benching, I keep the angle about 10-15% max.

I've always done Incline on the lowest setting possible. Layne aka Str8flexed advises this too
