    Decline Bench Form

    Just wondering how far down the chest to bring the bar. Today was first day doing them in a long time. Was bringing it down to mid-chest or a little higher but it seemed to be stretching my shoulders a bit too much so I switched to about nipple/lower chest height and that felt better. Is that too low?
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    I hit upper abs. Hell, sometimes I'm way below the bottom of the chest. I think the very bottom of the chest is the best place to hit though.

    I've always brought it to chest below chest level as well. Higher up and it will bring in the anterior delts more and put strain on them.

    of all the chest press movement decline and incline *should* put the least stress on the shoulders, if done correctly.

    Bringing it to your throat is all wrong!
