I totally disagree with decline bench being nothing but an ego trip. Any excercise can be done wrong. Decline bench being done correctly will give you tremendous results. You have to MAKE the correct muslces work. You need to keep the weight light enough to allow the correct muscles to work and heavy enough to get results. You need to make sure your breathing is correct. You need to learn how to push using only the chest, and peak using the chest.

Don't blame the exercise. Do it right.

Switch them up, use both in a work out. Don't restrict yourself to just one excersize for a certain muscle group.
Yea, I already switch em up as I do everything I just wondered what the general opinion was for the best of the 2

I'm surprised no one has mentioned seat cable flys with the cables all the way at the bottom rung?? You then start in a fly position with the cables at your lower chest and end with the cables at your upper chest. Great movement. Along with Dips that's a great lower pec routine.
Personally. I think decline bench is the worst piece of equiptment in the gym. Does nothing for you and puts you in a position to really fuck your shoulders up.

If you work the lagging area first when you're fresh then you'll be able to really concentrate on the feel/contraction of the muscle in question, and be able to bring it up as quickly as possible.

Thats an excellent piece of advice.

One must always use a concentrated effort when lifting, but particularly when trying to bring up a weak area. I suggest that you warmup with cable crossovers, and then move on to dips. After dips hit incline press, and then finish off with benchpress.

I truly believe in the mind/muscle connection. Call it bullshit, but when you are concentrating on a certain area like your situation, your body will tweak what you are doing and adjust so that you are hitting the muscles at the right angle. it works

so very true...i personally believe this is very important :cool:

decline bench right in the middle of your cables... decline cable flyes.. start your workout with them for a couple of sets. It is the best lower chest isolation sets I've found.. Then move on to your decline dumbells, and lots of flat bench work. I truly believe in the mind/muscle connection.
