Chest

 

Decline bench press
Target: lower pecs

By angling the bench downwards you target the lower portion of your chest.

Decline bench press
  • Set the bench at 30-45° and lie with your head and shoulders supported by the bench and your feet secured beneath pads.
  • Grip the bar with hands wider than shoulder-width apart.
  • Bracing your core muscles, lift the bar from the rack and hold it directly above your chest.
  • Lower the bar slowly to your chest and press back up powerfully.
  • Elbows to the sides.
  • Don't arch your back as you press up.

Variation: Incline press-up

A great way to warm up before doing decline presses, or to exhaust your lower pec muscles safely afterwards.
 

Variation: Decline dumb-bell press

The dumb-bells allow for a greater range of motion than the bar, and can be kinder to your shoulder and elbow joints.
 

Variation: Decline Smith machine press

The Smith machine means you don't have to worry about controlling the bar, so you can afford to go as heavy as you dare.
