got new gym membership closer to home and realized it has incline and regular bench press, but no decline bench. would just getting dumbbells and hopping on a sit up bench work as well?

That's where I do my decline DB exercise from. I'm assuming that the sit up bench you are talking about is putting you in the same position that a decline bench would. I like it a little better than a decline BB bench because I don't have to lift the weights so far in an awkward position.
Move further, Move faster, Fight harder.
Don't tell me what I can't do.

It's not of absolute important, but it could be good. To recreate the decline bench: setup for a powerlifting bench press (deep back arch) and you've got yourself a decline bench.
Here's a relevant article: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ask-...n-decline.html

I'm not of decline presses and haven't used them for years. Other movements, including dips as mentioned above, target the area nicely IMO.
Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.
