Decline dumbell presses
they offer a great range of motion and imho are more effective than dips.

Can I ask why dips are so much better in the long run?
Dips are good and everything but decline db are a great excercise for getting that lower line on your chest.

Dips hit the lower pec more specifically than declines. Decline presses are fine, but they're only a slightly lower emphasis than flat presses. Dips really bring it down.Originally posted by lifting hard

Right. If someone wants to work the lower pec (and still thinks they can work only PART of a muscle), then either is fine. I find that dips are more effective as a tri workout than as a lower pec workout. I never do declines. I never "target" the lower pec. I do dips for tris and some additional chest work, but for chest, I do flats and inclines. Sometimes some flies. That's plenty, and it works the whole pec just fine. But some guys want to work only the part they think is coolest, instead of the whole thing, and what can you do?Originally posted by lifting hard

Ive found leaning forward dips extremely not-beneficial. I havent noticed the least bit of size in my "lower" chets region, I feel it now and it seems to still me missing. Ive been doing them for months and months, but the rest of my chest has seen some growth. I still do them despite the fact but am not seeing any positives from them.

so many people do the weirdest thing like folding up into a bannana (best way to describe it) instead of just doing a regular dip with the chin tucked

what do you mean, like a banana? I grab the bars, tighten my triceps, lean forward, and keep my legs crossed against my ass and dip down and make sure I use my chest to bring me back up rather than all triceps. I just dont seem to see any results.

yea, but don't go much more below upper arms parallel to ground- too low and you're looking for sternum injuriesOriginally posted by chenko
