Debate over declines.....

I personally believe at this point the decline is the most effective at working the pectorals as a WHOLE and should be the "base" exercise of our chest routine.

I get a better workout from flies than from presses. The bottom of the movements stretches the fascia and helps the muscle in growth. The top of the movement allows you to get a better contraction than you could ever get with presses.

can't argue with that!! I think my statement should have been more specific referencing amongst the presses.....I have always had flys as a part of my routines and that was simply because I always felt they gave me the deepest work.

Same here. Totally the case today in the gym. I even started rotating the dumbells to help me build up some more muscle in the centre of my chest and cover up that sternum a bit
