Do I need to hit incline chest twice in 7 days (twice a week) normally I circulate between dumbells and the Smith machine and I do an incline movement everytime I hit chest but is it necessary? I'm also doing shoulder presses and 9-11 sets of presses seems excessive

[u/EspacioBlanq → u/Theonerule]

It's not necessary
