No incline bench - help?

Hi all! I'm starting stage 3 today so I'll need an incline bench for the bench press. Unfortunately the only one in my small gym at work is broken. I tried to use it for cuban snatch in stage 2 and it collapsed beneath me.

Any ideas for the bench press? There is a press machine, but the incline is more like 60 degrees instead of 30-45. Or should I lay flat and press from there?

Thanks!

If it was me, I'd try to get the incline angle using a swiss ball.

Exactly .. I'd try a swiss ball.

Yep! It engages your core even more. Bonus!
