Decline chest press - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Worth it or not? My chest lets me down so Im wondering if I add this in and hit my chest from this new angle, it might help a little?!

Hi Kevo.

I find doing Decline, is great for getting size on the lower part of your chest. also hitting your chest from another angle is spot on, keep it guessing and it will grow. try doing 5x5 as heavy as you can go. that works for me.

Cheers mate, yeah I am thinking of trying 5x5 TBH just to mix things up a little!

I think declines are crap. I'd hit dips far better for that. Also if your talking about hitting it in anoter way try pull overs

Well on this i must say i think Dec. BB is pretty crap, Dec. DB however, i do actually like

Cheers Magic, dips are another I havent tried TBH. I seem to be able to build the outer pec muscle well, but the inner and lower I find are lagging!

Yeah, I try to use DB's where I can but if they are being hogged I just get on the bar bell!

ha ha, fair one mate!!

lol, seriously tho, I used to Incline, Decline, Press, Cross over, fly etc etc and my chest was still sh1t. I changed to full body workouts (Westside style) and now I only do Flat(alt with Inc) and weighted dips and my chest is 10x better. I also do a pull over on another day, but I only do 8 sets a week on chest. If your used to volume training a little intensity work can help spark some life back in dude.

Thanks mate, I will cetainly get on it. My reps/sets are 12/10/8/6 (reps) with the weight increasing on each, to failure on the last two, for say 3 sets for chest so Im thinking it may be a little high volume wise too, so I may try the 5x5.

Magic Torch · 15-05-2008, 03:13 PM

Try it dude it is a good strength/size builder 5x5.
