DECLINE BARBELL PRESS FOR LOWER CHEST
Declines are a great low-pec developer. The
trouble is that most bodybuilders do them incorrectly by lowering the
bar only to the lower chest and not to the top of the upper chest. (When
performing the decline barbell press exercise, make sure you have a spotter or do them on the
Smith machine.)
To do the
decline barbell press exercise to target the lower chest correctly, take a grip on the
bar slightly wider than shoulder width. Simultaneously bring your elbows
downward and back as you lower the bar to upper chest/ lower-neck level.
Make sure the bar touches the very top of your upper chest muscle.
You will have to reduce the weight you usually
lift when doing the decline barbell press for lower chest exercise - probably by 50%! That's okay, because now you'll
be doing the movement correctly for maximal fiber stretch and
activation, which translates into greater results. Do 8-12 reps.
