Yeah better for us old farts..
although at home i use a Barbell especially on inclines. I´ve went through periods where i´ve only done inclines on a low incline & no flat press & got good results. Parallel bar dips are more effective imo than flat benches.
ive been doing 15 degree inclines as of late...and a hammer strength decline press machine..in my garage gym, i have dip bar that i custom made to my liking.. nothing fancy.. the bars are just a lot wider.. my upper body looks better when i dip too.
