decline chest alternatives?

boo99 · 01-10-2009, 10:43 AM

cant do em -- they give me vertigo (tried again yest on chest/tri day)--- chest needs work down there.

any other suggestions as to alternate exc. to build lower pecs?

I was thinking

rasing up a bench SOMEWHAT with some plates and using that
or

raising the hammer strengths seat up higher so tht it hits the lower pecs

Parallel bar dips can emphasize lower chest when leaning forward.

Ive used hammer strength declines with some success, I just have to fatigue my self a little with a few sets of flat bench and flies. I dont feel the lower chest being worked on that machine if I am pushing too much weight.

you could also try decline flies

i wish they had that at my gym...
the prob is the decline bench i think is wayyyyyy too low and cant be adjusted-----at other gyms i went to-- i never seen one so low

Dips and hammer strength decline presses is all I can think of.

Definitely dips, lean forward. Then start adding weight. Then keeping adding weight.

weighted dips, lean forward, or you can put your legs forward and chin on chest.

if u feel it on shoulders/triceps try doing dips facing the other way around

decline hammer strength superset with decline DB flyes(no rest between the 2 exercises... both to failure). 3 sets. 1 min rest between sets

that will cancel out your whole workout. then you'll have to come on here and start a thread "What if my rest time is 59 seconds instead of a minute? will i lose mussel?"
