Iso Lateral Decline Chest Press Machine.

Good morning. Does anyone include the decline machine to their chest routine. It seems like a waste. I usually do weighted dips. Any opinions would be great. Thanks.

Yeah it’s a great machine. Dips are good too but can be tough on the shoulders/elbows

I just can't get into decline (bench or machine). I have noticed something weird though the last few months, that more and more people are doing decline bench at the gym. Strange.

Since I hurt my shoulder and lower back all I can do is plate loaded machines the decline is one of my favorites can load up 3. Plates on each side

You can do both. Dips are often used as high rep finishers.

I'm not a decline fan, but we all have different limb lengths and body types. Personally, I'd rather just do more sets on a low incline than spread them out between incline, flat, and decline.

But I know a very good coach/lifter (used to lift with him for years) who uses decline bench himself and with most of his lifters. They always had a bench press day and a decline bench day. It seemed to work great for him/them, but I never liked it. Always felt it mostly in my shoulders, and incline I don't feel in my shoulders at all. Which is ironic because the prevailing knowledge is that incline incorporates more shoulder and decline less. Not for me.

I'll do decline every now and then, a few sets of 8 or 10. I mainly use it at the end of everything. I treat is a lift for "shaping" and burnout rather than growth.

light weight, reps/volume.
I have found my gains again. Thanks Sam Adams
