Decline

never done decline before..but i would like to start getting some definition and size in my lower chest...so i will be throwing some into my chest workouts...my question is where should the bar hit? same as flat bench? (nipples) or lower? i have seen guys doing it almost to their stomach

Nipple line......those guys you are watching are definetly using wrong form.

Yup, I usually hit my lower nipples with this one.

any higher than the nipple line the delt becomes in volved, also if the incline bench is over 30 degree's the delt's are involved.

Hey there Decoder,

I've been doing decline but I've been raising the bench to about 40 - 45 degrees. From what you posted I should just leave it at 30 degrees? If I do leave it at 30 degrees, will my lower pecs grow more?

Thanks allot,

Bobbo

Whenever you use too much of an incline/decline on bench your shoulders will do more and more of the work, you just want to switch the angle of attack from straight to putting a little more emphasize on the lower/upper chest.

Thanks Pain....I never realized that.
