Decline Bench Press

**YSK** · 02-14-2006, 03:59 PM

I was wondering, ive never done these before to be honest, but Im kind of bored of my current chest routine, so i thought i might incorporate them if they are useful. Do they actually significantly benefit the chest or will a flat bench press(or db press) have the same effect, just at a lower efficiency.

i love doing them as i can bench more doing declines than flat bench. i think i helps me keep better form and the bar lower over my chest.

I no longer do any type of flat benching. I only do Decline bench @ 15 degrees and Incline flyes if I need another chest exercise.

Yes DB's rock. You get a good range of motion, but I'll stay with the straight bar. I look at it this way. I can do more weight with the straight bar then DB's and the more weight you can use with good form, the bigger and stronger you will get.

^?

As well, I have another question regarding the decline press. Is it necessary to obtain a full powerful chest?

That's total bullshit. All benching whether incline, decline or flat are a full chest development and not a partial one.

Patrick, you want to correct me here if I'm wrong.

Tough

Yes sir they do. But hard to setup heavy Dbs alone. Unless someone has some suggestions.

I can rep the 130s...actually their 135s, but I had to have someone hand them to me. Its not always that easy to find a spotter that is around the same time I do this workout that can lift these dumbells.
