I have never been a big fan of barbell decline bench but, dumbell decline works the chest a lot more. Doing this lift with a barbell will hit the tricep and shoulders, dumbells help isolate the chest muscles more. I get the best results buy rotating my hands inward (knuckles facing each other) at the top of the lift. This allows the chest to contract much more. It's not neccessary to incorporate this lift every chest day but once in a while won't hurt. Good luck

Well, to be honest, there is little to no gain when you do the decline bench press. The portion of your pec that it hits is less than 10% of your total pec, so just doing flat & incline bench will be enough to sculpt your chest.

Whatever lift people say it provides I've never seen the evidence in my own routine as well as others. If you stick to a solic routine of flat & incline, you'll be just fine!

hope this helps!

I actually like the decline bench because it has a low rep range and lets you put a lot of weight on. I also feel that it adds a lot more 'lift' to my chest.

I agree, I never got much out of decline bench press. The lagging part of most people's chest is the upper part, so incline is more essential.

However, everyone is different, and you may get more out of declines than me. I bench with an arched back, so in some ways I am creating a decline anyways. Try it out and see what works for you.

In my experience, they work the arms more then the chest and aren't really that effective. I'd instead turn those into decline flys with the dumbbells and twist your palms facing up when you get in the center.
