So i was doing decline bench press 6 years ago and one of the trainers at the 24 hour fitness i went to told me that it mostly works out shoulders, he also said other things like, "theres no way to work your rear delts" but that first statement has always stuck to me, so how important is it, and where does it add to chest?
Thanks alot

Decline is a great exercise for the lower part of your chest, but I wouldn't make it a central theme of your chest workout. Just add a set or two at the end of your workout to make sure you've really hit every part of your chest.
Dips are also great, but some people can't do them for whatever reason (not strong enough, too heavy, painful, etc.) In these cases, decline bench press is an excellent alternative.

If you refer to a fighter who you've never met in real life as "my boy" as though their performance somehow reflects well on you for simply being a fan, you're a lame ass.
