It was both my 29th wedding anniversary and of course father's day. Wife made prime rib. Spent most of the day in the pool having a couple of beers. Kids gave me running shorts, beach chair, book and a gift card for a local restaurant. Glad they could all come over from their busy lives. During dinner the conversation was planning our annual kayak trip through the pine barrens. We have a short route that takes us about 4 hours. It's great being out in nature away from people.

Bill Pearl...

Donny · « **Reply #7306 on:** June 23, 2015, 04:11:20 AM »

A great Bodybuilder who did a series of videos still on the web...Bill Grant. The "old school series" by him is good solid advice.

yes they are a forgotten exercise for the chest. I don´t understand why people forget the Decline Fly or press. always liked Decline work. more natural than flat press or flys.. or at least for me. Feel my chest more.

One thing i find funny is the variations from people i have seen doing Decline Flys with cables. i use cables in the same way as Bells with a decline bench(what is unique is twisting or pronating your hands/tension). some do them standing and that is where i see some strange variations.

I rarely had access to a decline bench but they really take off the stress from the shoulder region. I recently saw a video with Yates saying what a great movement it is for chest.

yes they are very underrated. I remember in my Home gym just sticking a thick block of wood under my bench to make an incline/decline... i used Dumbbells. I mean it was crude but worked.

well i am looking forward to my injection in my nerve roots on Friday... should be as you Americans say ...a real Blast

Only thing that is pissing me off is the Queen is over to visit Hohne/ Fallingbostel so it will be very busy. Wife is working so i guess i will take a Taxi back home as i can´t drive at the moment. They said a lot of traffic because of the visit...fuck it, if i am fit enough i will walk.

Look at the 1:34 mark. OK Bar / dumbbell position can make a small impact such as Gironda neck press which our Stevo likes.. on a flat bench but i have said this over and over again Decline works the whole chest and very well. look at how his whole chest contracts. I trust the sporthochschule Köln because/and my practical experience shows their research studies are correct.

They may not release you unless you have someone to drive you. This is the norm if the doctor gives you an anesthetic. When I've had colonoscopies, they require me to have a driver. They won't release me if I plan to drive, take a taxi or public transportation and if I wanted to walk. Anything happens to you and the doctor is liable.
