Olympic Decline Bench

The Olympic Decline Bench is used to target the sternal head (also known as the lower pec) of the pectoralis major muscle.It's a variation of the flat bench press, a popular chest workout. In a decline bench press, the bench is set to 15 to 30 degrees on a decline. This angle places your upper body on a downward slope, which activates the lower pectoral muscles as you push weights away from your body.Which is when people usually cite the flat bench, decline, and incline as the bench trifecta of getting a bodybuilder-like chest. And if you don't already know the differences, they're easy to memorize. Incline targets the upper chest; decline targets the lower.
