    Does incline dumbbell bench press work your lower pecs at all?

    I realize that incline dumbbell bench press works your upper pecs mostly, but does it also hit your lower pecs at all?

    Same question for flat dumbbell bench press. I realize that flat dumbbell bench press works your lower pecs mostly, but does it also hit your upper pecs at all?

    The incline compliments your chest development and works to build your middle and upper pecs,changing the angle of the incline puts extra stress on upper and front delts,Decline targets the middle and lower pecs.

    Flat bench db will build strength and mass in your middle and outer pecs,Secondary muscles include delts and tris

    Question for you-

    If you can lift more weight on your decline bench, how can that be worthless?
