Decline Bench

[aries70]

I was in a discussion at the gym Friday and it is believed by some that the decline bench is worthless. Personally it's my favorite but I want to know what you guy's think. Is it a waste of time or not?

Decline bench puts more emphasis on lower chest. So, it might be useful to throw into a routine to change things up. I dont think its a worthless exercise, but it has never been the foundation of a chest routine for me.

Ya dips work lower chest just as well and dont come with the blood rush to the head that you get from decline.

Decline is the Ego lovers bench of choice IMO.... They can stack on excess weight they couldnt possibly bench flat to impress buds and random spectators. Flat, incline and dips will get you a complete, full chest... Decline will give your lower pecs an over exaggerated look..

What is your personal opinion? Stopping my decline bench and adding incline bench every chest workout seems to have developed my chest better.

Learn to do a decline bench properly with a WG and do incline dumbell presses, you will be amazed at the gain in size and strength. There is a reason why dips work so well.
