Inclines, Dips, Flat BB and DB should be sufficient

*Emphasis mine.

I must confess, I don't understand: why is that a bad thing, man?

 

[Tweakle]

declines and dips work pretty much the same muscles.. but then so do inclines and flat

why dontcha like declines? they're like benching but you can load up much more weight on them with less shoulder stress. If I thought they were as effective I'd do them all the time

Declines are good, but from a symmertical point of view, don't structure a routine around them.

The upper chest will always need the most emphasis in a chest routine (IMO).

The lower chest recieves a tonne of work in flat BB and DB presses.

That said I see nothing wrong with finishing off chest with 4 sets of decline presses or dips.

Hrm , see the bench sucks. But I may try using a different bench and doing them in the smith rack...

declines waste of time, but deffinatly do dips!

I actually love inclines (should say declines), but only do them every 6-8 weeks for a couple of weeks to make sure i havent lost everything on them and to just hit my chest from a different angle. However, i like to really do a decline, so i put a box or stack 3 25lb plates under the end so i actually get a decline and not mimicing flat as much.

Sorry...should be love DECLINES.
