Decline Pressing (Dorian and haney)

[Rep]

So ive seen dorain speak many times about how effective decline benching is. He goes on and on about it being the best pressing for chest. I just read haney in the latest Muscle devl mag say he doesnt like them, they are a waste and he never did them,,,, he claims Arnold, and many other Mr.Olympias and other names he threw in never did them and they are harmful.
I have been doing them about once per month but most recnelty been doing decline cable flyes and they produce the best pump to date. I found volmue works MY chest better then trying large weight. My chest has always been wide but looks narrow bc its a lot of real estate. Anyway, what do you guys think of this movement

well I like the Decline press machines alot.

That is my strongest bench move but i only have done a couple times. I dont want to get a big lower chest. I always feared
it would sag when I got older. Incline and flat bench and I do heavy DB pullovers to tighten lower chest.

like them as a change of pace exercise. Like the flyes better though...Decline press is easier on my shoulders for sure

I used to loved declines. It was always my strongest but it kills my shoulder now.

declines are great ... takes strain off the shoulders

only time i do them is close grip and light weight high reps
