The Decline Bench press is a workout that's supposed to build the lower parts of the chest. Ideally it is done with a bench tilted 15-30 degrees towards the ground.
A bench like this:
A bench that can be tilted forwards or backwards to whatever degree you want is something lacking in the gym I attend, but we have something else which is not really a bench but kinda like a bench.
It's permanently facing downwards in the decline position, but it is mainly used for situps and stuff.
I was always unhappy about not finding a decline bench until one day I watched someone do a situp with it and it occurred to me I could use it for the decline press.
I immediately started using it only for me to go online one day with a certain search query to find that I didn't invent this, that people have been using benches like these for decline presses for generations. Lol.
Anyways there you go, my first workout video ever posted, still on my journey to figure out the bodybuilding content genre for more motivation and reward for working out 🙂.
