Several incline bench press alternatives can help to target the upper chest fibers if you can only access a flat bench. One option is the incline push-up, which can be performed by elevating the feet on a sturdy object, such as a step or box. This exercise mimics the mechanics of the incline bench press and can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease the difficulty. Another option is the feet-elevated bench dip, which targets the triceps and upper chest. Dumbbell or barbell floor press variations can help target the chest and shoulders while minimizing stress on the lower back.
