The cranial blood rush in the semi-inverted position can be a bit distracting (for lack of a better word).
Anybody here do decline presses with dumbbells?
I think decline benches in general are underutilized – especially for triceps work. They’re very good for lying extensions, lowering the bar behind the head, and I’ve even done reverse grip bench presses (for triceps) on them. The RG presses aren’t my first choice for tri’s, but are nice to do to occasionally switch things up.
As far as chest, I tend to get more out of dips using a modified grip.
But as mentioned here, a lot of that has to do with how you're put together.
