The heavier poundages of decline are a nice ego boost :big_smile: -------------- OSU Law Rugby....specializing in personal injury and pain & suffering.

I do decline as a warm up with high reps.......4x10 then incline dumbells, then flat banch, an da fly move. Just depends onthe day and how i'm filling. -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn
