incline only works upper tho = \
incline can be driven all the way from the feet pushing on the ground through the torso into the shoulders and arms, depends how you load the lift up.
But bench is a movement horizontal to the body, incline at 45 degrees above horizontal and military press vertical. It covers the range quite well having all three alternating.

rarely. What you want to do is become equally strong in all three directions. So to start with you might do flat bench session 1, military session 2 and incline session 3. Alternate initially and if one is moving ahead of the others do that one less and the weakest one more. Strength for MD is about balancing and then about maximising. Balance first i reckon then keep the balance whilst maximising.
Following the same idea as Runningart you could do a preparatory stage with your bodyweight prior to actual weight lifting. You can do pushups, incline pushups and pike pushups to simulate the three weight lifting movements (pike pushups are pretty tough as are incline so some good development in pushups would be the place to start). There are many versions depending on where you place your hands. You can develop much of the complete chest range by having half a dozen different hand positions you work on. Not really Cerutty though.
