Reply With QuoteI can't see why it couldn't be. most people on ME days PREFER doing flat bench, so I guess it's sort of an opinion, plus decline<<flat - that's my opinion.

Okay to use decline benches in westside?
I was wondering, is it okay to use decline benchpressing for a couple of weeks during a max effort lift day? I was looking through some logs of westside routines and saw other lifts being used but didn't recall seeing decline benching being included.

Yeah, I just want to change around the type of exercise that I do for my max effort day every couple of weeks, I figure I haven't done decline presses for max effort yet.

I'm no expert, but I don't see why not. Do it!

Just wondering, I know everyone is different, but would the max on the decline be around the same as the max on flat benching?

You'll probably find that you can press a good deal more decline.

It wouldn't really matter. You can still progress with decline bench and get stronger, but if it isn't within the realms of Westside it isn't Westside.
