How will Decline press shape the chest? I am going to start doing them today. Will it make my chest have that nice rounded bottom?

If done correctly (form wise) and useing DBS not BB, I find this to be a very effective movement for building the lower chest and getting the chest swoop we all desire...
remember with DBs its the full range of motion and stretch you want to take avantage of.

I agree with declined dumbell presses, I couldn't get the "hanging" lower pecs out of dipping or flat benchpressing, but dumbells did the trick for me
Mind you a lot of bb with full lower pecs are really AS bitch tits waitin to be born!
Nice basic routine:
training session 1-8
3 * 5 flat benchpress
(lower weight each set to complate same reps)
2 * 8 incline benchpress
2 * 8 incline dumbell press
2 * 8 flat dumbell press
2 * 8 decline dumbell press
finishing, choose one of the following:
) 2 * 10 incline flyes
) 2 * 10 flat flyes
) 2 * 10 cable cross
---------------------------------------------------------------
training session 9-16
3 * 5 incline benchpress
(lower weight each set to complate same reps)
2 * 8 flat benchpress
2 * 8 incline dumbell press
2 * 8 flat dumbell press
2 * 8 decline dumbell press
finishing, choose one of the following:
) 2 * 10 incline flyes
) 2 * 10 flat flyes
) 2 * 10 cable cross

genetics determine the shape of the muscle, training and diet can only effect the size of the muscle.

It seems decline press utilizes more o fthe actual pec muscle then the other angles. I prefer the barbell, it utilizes more motor units.

To answer your question. It won't.
There is no doubt about it. Declines have brought out the cleft in the lower portion of my pecs...same with my training partner, who had no pectoral development to begin with. The pectoralis major is one large muscle, so declines and inclines hit different parts of the same muscle.

Shape training withinh the bounds of your genetic is VERY possible.
GO read "Muscle meets magnet."

Cornholio - appreciate the LOL. You can go on believing that, but can you provide me with the physiological evidence to back your statement up. You'll never find it. It's simply not the way the muscle works. Besides, having gone from small to big 3 times in my life with three completely different training routines, I can confirm through personal experience - you can't change the shape of your muscles, you can just develop them. Period.
