I've read some places that decline bench is a waste of time. Well, I was wondering if any of you agree with this and if so, what do you do to train your lower pecs? IP: Logged |

I don't know if it's a waste of time. Personally I don't do much decline. Alot of incline and some flat. I notice that you're chest hangs down which creates a large looking lower pec. You just have to start hitting up decline if your lower is falling behind. IP: Logged |

I dont think that decline bench is a waste of time, however SORRY Mr.H, you've got to know that there are no "lower pecs". You got your clavicular pectoralis (upper chest area so to speak) and pect. major ( the main man). I used to do decline presses for the first two or three years of lifting, since then never again, nothing wrong with it though. It does however give you a shorter range of motion and uses more tri's i believe than the conventional flat and incline bench do. Notice you can always handle more weight on decline....its cuz of shorter distance (not all of this that i voice is proven, however after 14 years of lifting you notice some things). ------------------ IP: Logged |

I don't like doing decline at all. I do some dips every once anda while to work the lower chest. But my pecs are big enough and I don't want them hanging down like breasts from doing too much decline. Dips work though, maybe not as much but they still work lower part. ------------------ the alpha male IP: Logged |

I'm with A-mass big time. My chest is already huge and when I do decline, it looks like I've got double-D's or something. My chest is already all squared away at the bottom, decline tends to give it a funny little point at the bottom...which I hate. Incline rules! Do what works for you though bro. Shit, I almost forgot...I do heavy dumbell pull-over's for my back. That works the lower chest, indirectly I guess. I do it for the Seratus Anterior muscles (fingers of muscle across rib cage), and because I'll never forget my high scholl football coach always saying, "pull-overs are the upper body squat!" And we all know squats rule! [This message has been edited by 2legit2quit (edited April 02, 2000).] IP: Logged |
