Decline Press


To set up for the decline press, position the bench so that it is angled downwards at about 20-40 degrees. Make sure that your feet and legs are secured at the other end of the bench so that you will not slide off. Holding the bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width, slowly lower the bar to your chest.


Lift the bar back up to the top position by extending your arms, feeling the effort of the movement in your lower pectorals.

Tips

* This exercise mainly uses the inferior part of the pectoralis major, the anterior deltoid, the triceps, as well as the serratus anterior.
* This is a great exercise for carving out the lower part of your pecs. Start with light weights and focus on performing the movement correctly, squeezing your chest as you raise the bar to the top.
