does decline bench press do anything?

[MaxxReps]

I used to do decline bench but don't anymore. I pretty much focus most of my effort on both bbell and dbell incline bench with some flat thrown in. I feel incline is best for upper chest development which is where I am lacking.

One of the reasons is that I never really knew how to do heavy decline dbell without having someone hand me weights. The other day I saw some dude mount 120's on a decline all by himself and do reps. It was pretty impressive (the mounting part, mostly).

So what if anything are decline bench presses good for?

Good for your ego.. dips are better for lower chest development

Great for putting un-needed pressure on your shoulders

Dips are the best do them with a 25 pound plate on and you get a killer workout

They are good for those with fleshy armpits.

we have one at my gym and it rarely is used.

I will use it maybe once every couple months. it seems to give my chest and tri's a nice pump

Thing is, I have never looked at someone and said "wow, looks like sure has an undeveloped lower chest".

I do them some times just for a change. 120???? I do more than that and have no trouble lifting if off the stand or do I not understand what you mean???

Are you short??? No offense but you got me thinking because I have to adjust foot hold so I'm in the right position. If it didn't adjust I would be in trouble.
