Decline bench bodybuilding. 5 sets of 5 4 3 2 1 reps 2 minutes rest in between. Opening arguments defense incline presses will build the most balanced looking chest. Decline bench is one of my all time favorites for chest and i very often use it as my main lift on chest day.
While it can be a strength focused movement it is usually performed for moderate to high reps such as 8 12 reps per set or more as part of upper body or chest focused training. Additionally the decline is equal or perhaps a tad superior when you take into consideration the greater stimulation on the eccentric part of the movement to building the upper part of the pec. Prosecution due to the angle of the clavicles decline presses allow activation of both the lower and upper pecs thus serving as the best exercise for total pec development.
However most decline benches in gyms are like this one imgur and are in my opinion too steep instead i use a step box underneath the foot of the regular bench to only make a slight decline. Fst 7 has made more headlines the past couple of years than any other training system because of who all follows it. Based on this study the decline bench press is superior to the incline when it comes to working the whole pec.
