Training; Quick note; Decline Bench Press;

The angle of your decline bench is most crucial in this exercise. You will get little or nothing from the movement if the bench is set at a decline greater than 30 degrees. The best effect will be felt in your lower pectorals when you do your decline bench presses on a bench set at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees. To achieve a greater degree of stress on the outer sections of your lower pectorals, you can use a wide grip on this movement. As with all pressing movements involving the chest, hand placement will decide which part of the pecs get the most stress, although the whole chest does get stressed on any bench pressing movement, a greater degree of stress can be placed on certain parts when the hands are placed wide, close or medium. The same applies with the bench itself flat, incline,or decline.
