Incline Dumbbell Flys Overview

The decline Bench Press is a great exercise for strengthening your lower chest muscles. It is a variation of the popular chest workout, the flat bench press. In the decline Bench Press, the bench is set at a 15 to 30 degree decline. This angle tilts your torso downward and activates your lower pectoral muscles as you lift the weight away from your body. As part of a complete chest workout, the decline bench press will make your pectoral muscles more visible.
