Necessary To Do Decline AND Flat Bench?
or can you pick one or the other. I read somewhere on the board that a study was done and decline actually best targets your chest, so if I incorporated that into my workout could I removed flat?

I personally hate decline. I don't think it helps me at all. I love the incline bench. I think it develops my chest better than anything

if you want to grow you should use exercises from every angle, decline, flat, and incline. this applies to all muscle groups with most exercises.

i just believe that everybody's development doing a particular movement will never be the same. my chest has grown more when i discovered supersetting chest+back and doing heavy flat db flyes. i think you should just try everything imaginable and you will find what works best for you.

i never do incline bench press because i find it works my shoulders and triceps way more than my chest...i do flat and decline though because i can actually feel my chest doing the work.

Gain
Foolproof Pec Blasting
Build an impressive chest with this total program
By Dr. Clay Hyght
"Decline Dumbbell Presses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMG studies (which measure the activity of a muscle) show that the decline dumbbell press is the single most effective exercise for stimulating the primary muscle of the chest--the pectoralis major. This is thought to be due to the fact that shoulder muscle, specifically the anterior deltoid, is taken out of the movement, placing virtually all the load on the pecs. After one set I believe you'll agree to the effectiveness of this exercise.
Starting position
Begin by setting a bench to a declined angle between 15 and 30 degrees. Lie flat on your back on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand and your palms facing your feet. Your arms should essentially be straight up and down, which will put the dumbbells over your lower chest area."
just the exert (sp) of the original. the whole article is in novastepps chest tread

i get hundos on decline all up and set up by myself.. once you are able to handle them weights i dont think there should be an issue gettin them ready to press.
