I use to love decline bench when I worked out at a gym. Can hit some decent numbers with the exercise. I will definitely settle for weighted parallel bar dips if no decline is available.
Also, I've always had a problem/weakness with my barbell incline bench??? But have always pushed decent dumbbells like 135's for reps??? I think it's more of a mental aspect for me... If I feel even the slightest twinge of pain not associated with sore muscles... I'll throw the towel in and try again another day.
Previously I've experienced 1-2 rotator cuff injuries and 1 pectoralis minor/major???? "big scare for me" Probably over trained at time... and every since then have really stayed away from lifting heavy on Incline barbell press. However, I've just recently started to add more weight to the Incline barbell in order to balance my chest some "Keep reminding myself>>>Slow and Steady..."
