Decline Bench

[25gauge]

Anyone here found decline bench giving good carryover to their flat bench?

they're quite hard to get comfy at....dips are cool though.

I haven't found it to be a good carryover but have noticed if I take a normal grip it wrecks havok on my shoulders but a slightly more narrow grip really seems to blast my tris at the end of a chest workout.

made my bench stronger along with dips. never hurt my shoulders at all

me either. Also, I need to use a wide grip on decline or it works my tris more than my chest.

i like weighted dips alot better, and i find it that it builds ur chest alot better then decline bench, did decline bench for a while, wasnt getting many results, buddy told me to drop decline bench and do weighted dips, got alot stronger chest now...

declines work well to get your bench moving again if your stuck.

Thanks guys. I'll give declines a go for a while see if they work for me.

agree.


dips.........not so much

imo weighted dips are a good exercise to assist your bench as well.
