you may want to educate her with research and videos. most people just go off what they hear from the media and docs that are just plain stupid. so in all reality they really dont know any better. that's why it's our job to educate them and make society better. i have educated more than one doctor myself haha.

Hell yeah man these are one of my favorite exercises of all time no joint pain at all. Is this really work upper chest?

yes and was one of the best things i found to get mine to grow. actually started getting stretch marks for the first time in my shoulder pec tie in when i added them in. growth went through the roof but it's all about technique. if you do them for back lay on the bench normal and hang head off and only pull to your forehead. for chest you have to lay across the bench and keep your ass below your sternum for the entire range of motion(ass low as possible) inhale on the stretch and pull through to your upper abs and squeeze the piss out of your chest as you pull through. the stretch is just as important as the full hard contraction at the top. it will make it grow trust me if you are doing it properly
Re: Alternative to Incline presses
Alright cool, I keep my back and butt flat on the bench and lower the weight back as far as i can. Usually I can touch the ground with the DB. I did this exercise today for a finisher and yea I could feel it for sure!
Re: Alternative to Incline presses
Learned this from Fuzo, and its been almost 20 years since he had 3 shoulder surgeries with no issues again. He still trains his chest hard with a closer barbell grip taking stress off the shoulders. Also has incorporated modifications with machines as he has gotten older
