❌ Decline Bench Press Mistake (AVOID THIS!)

❌ Avoid doing THIS to prevent shoulder injury! ✅ Move the bar in a curved path down to your lower chest for greater chest activation!

The biggest decline bench mistake is doing that exercise.

“Move the bar with a curved pattern”

Smith machine users: 🙃

Do not decline bench alone. More dangerous than flat bench. Much easier to choke you out if you can't complete the last rep.

I only do decline if benchpress are full and I don't wanna wait😂

The lower fibres of the chest obviously run downwards so pushing in an arc upwards is totally the wrong direction, it should be moving in that downward motion a bit more towards your feet, think dips with a bar
This is why the Smith machine is a great excercise for the decline press because you can hit that angle with the slight lean of the smith machine and decline bench while not having to stabilise with internal rotation so it's much safer than other variations

The mistake is using a bar instead of dumbells

[notjoe]

The decline bench press is the mistake

I’ve never seen useless from the side doing this - but on declines I feel myself pressing the bar very slightly down towards my waist as I press the bar up. Thus feels natural

Thanks for the short yet useful video, much appreciated 👍

I haven’t done decline in years but I always put the bar slightly under lower chest and essentially pushed away. I feel like this bar path would basically just be benching upside down haha

[willkuhn]

😂😭😭😂😂all these mad folks, good vid my boy love em all

[jayyemm]

I feel it more in my chest when I do it the wrong way 😅

Declines are still safe to my opinion. Less likely for people to get injured here.

The real deal is Inclined. This is where most people are susceptible to shoulder injuries. Most of the shoulder injuries occur on a chest day, mostly while training the upper head. It’s because it starts right at the point your shoulders meet the rib cage.

Train Safe

Your introductions are very helpful. Hope you make playlists. Thanks

I usually do this on the Smith machine. But I prefer forward dips for targeting my lower chest.

[Saffrone]

I feel the further it goes down, the more stimulus it does to the chest. When i bench to nipple, the distance is reduce by 1/3 and just hit the shoulder

[FitnessbyAwdhesh]

which app are you using to for editing

[FrankKnights]

Makes no difference as long as the individual contracts and squeeze that’s all that matters

[invisiblerevolution]
