The Claim
Alterations in the inclination angle of the bench press exercise are associated with non-uniform excitation patterns between the clavicular and sternocostal heads of the pectoralis major muscle, resulting in acute uneven architectural responses across these muscle regions.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When you change the angle of the bench press, it might make the different parts of your chest muscle work in uneven ways, potentially causing one part to activate differently than the other.

Changes in bench press inclination angle are associated with non-uniform excitation patterns between the clavicular and sternocostal heads of pectoralis major, leading to acute uneven architectural responses in these muscle regions
What the research says
1 studyThe study proves that when you change the angle of bench press (flat vs inclined), different parts of the chest muscle get activated differently and grow unevenly right after exercise - exactly what the claim says happens.
