i think slight incline puts a bit more pressure on the front delt but thats what im asking.
does anyone put the slightlest incline on the bench when doing shoulder press

When i do shoulder presses I'm trying to hit the middle delt so i want the bench at 90º.
I personally put the slightest decline on the bench, I just feel I can get better form. Also i can flick a heavier weight up there with my knee and it's a bit better on my lower back and elbows

I do my 1st 2 sets at 90 Deg and the next 2 to 3 sets with the back rest kicked back a little cause as BMG says you can get the heavier weight up....but then I try to either use a Smith or Hammer Strength to isolate the middle delts.
Between chest pressing and dips front delts get a lot of work...

I almost have to put the back down one click. With my jacked up shoulder the tiny change in angle makes all the difference as far as being so painful I can barely press a 20lber to almost no pain.
Any incline will recruit pecs allowing for heavier weights but less isolation of the deltoids.

I've been doing it with one click back on the incline. But I'm aiming for my front delts more with this exercise I use to always do a 90 degree I really don't know why I ever switched just kind of ended up like that.

I think you have to some sort on incline whether it be how you set the bench or if you arch your back assuming you are working with a barbell otherwise you would have an burger bar pathway.
Dumbbell I would like to be as close to 90 as possible but I have not done those in quite some time
