What's the general opinion on doing decline presses ?
It's a must for me.
Incline
Decline
Flat
Dips
Flys
... done.
Does ot seem to round out the bottom of your pecs ?
Dorian Yates once said that the decline bench was the best exercise for the pecs. That's a pretty big endorsement for the decline.
Never do it. Incline is what makes the chest appear big. Decline doesn't seem to do much for me personally.
Are you advising to never do it or are you just saying you never do it?Quote:

Incline press activates 80% more front delts than chest said ronnie Rowland. He also recommends decline press for best overall chest development.Quote:

Just Google it. There's a bunch of sites that quote what he said about his favorite movements for different body parts.Quote:

I'll have to add it into my routine for a few months and see if I like the over all look and feel that it brings
Decline pressing has done nothing for me but make my front delts really sore the next day.
This. I don't care how good it is for general chest development, it might be the king of chest as Yates said, but I really like the look of a developed upper chest. Ulissis Jr. has amazing aesthetics, but his lower chest is so much more pronounced its a huge weakness imo. Lazar Angelov on the other hand, who is even a little smaller, has one of the most aesthetic chests i have ever seen because of the upper development.Quote:

two pictures of Ulissis now, idk how to remove the thumbnail...
Decline's great! I mean, why not incorporate it. My understanding is the greater the decline, the lower in the chest the exercise focuses.Quote:
