Breaking News: Teen has been murdered with broken CD

this is probably bait

"shit i broke my cd, lets make a post about it at least"

Looks too perfect to be an accident.

CDs dont have irregular cracks

I wouldn't know I don't own CDs anymore.

CDs are so 2008

Someone just got dumped.

Set the bench to work like the Freefall ride at amusement parks

Problem solved

I do variations of incline and regular benching every push day, I never do declines though, they aren't the best movement.

Myunknown, we don't thumb down on this board for no reason. If you disagree then let me know.

If I'm wrong I'll man up and admit it.

Valid points.

And no worries, just a pet peeve of mine to thumb people down on this board unless they're being an ass. Plus I like hearing dissenting opinions, it's how you learn and get better.

"aren't the best movement"

What does that even mean? They can be great for hitting your lower pecs if dips hurt your shoulders, aannnd they can be used as an overload for the bench since you can handle more weight.

Except none of that is true. You can't train the " lower chest". And you can handle more weight because it ridiculously reduces the amount of ROM. Plus it places a ton of emphasis on the triceps, and takes the shoulders and chest almost completely out of the movement. In terms of a quality movement, you could find a laundry list worth of things better then the decline bench.

You're probably right about the lower chest thing.

But yeah, it is a shorter range of motion...overload movements typically are, like pin or board presses....Hell, even dips have a smaller ROM than regular bench. In fact, decline bench is pretty much the same as some type of hypothetical barbell dip.

The degree of tricep involvement has to do with the angle of your elbows.

You use shorter ROM on overloading movements, yes, but you usually use a shorter ROM on that particular movement. Board presses and pin presses are still done on a flat bench where the chest and shoulders are still contributing somewhat. And the traditional dip is a triceps movement, more similar to the close grip bench than the decline besnch. The dip only becomes a chest focused movement if you lean forward and widen your grip slightly.

And if your shoulders hurt from dips, youre going too deep. Your forearms and upper arm should not break 90 degrees or else you compromise the shoulder joint.

You probably know more about dips than I do, since I don't do dips....as much as I wish I could....

I don't know, it just seems silly to say decline is a 'bad' movement. It has it's place. It's not like tricep kick-backs which actually are useless.

Well sure they're a viable movement. But in my opinion you could do other things that have a bigger bang for your buck. When I say "bad movement" that's what I really mean.

I've been doing tricep kick-backs
