    flat benching makes me eyes blood shot and there are times i have burst a blood vessel in my eye and my eye has been red and itchy for a couple of weeks thereafter

    i wouldnt even think of doing decline

    note that i practise proper breathing technique

    on a side note someone once explained to me why decline at an angle of 45 degres was not very useful however a slight decline 15 degrees is useful

    It sounds like your breating was off. You shouldn't passout. Remeber to take your time. There is no hurry to get it done.

    Do you have a history of high blood pressure or asthsma?
