not an expert but imho: depends on the angle. Increase the angle, more shoulders are used...

For best results with your chest don't go higher than 30 degrees.

I agree. I look for the lowest incline I can find.

To take some of the delts out of the movement, try bringing the bar down as close to your chin as possible.

If it's an adjustable bench I always put it on the lowest angle possible.
