Not exact matches

decline bench press, your
body lies

on you.
And you're going to set that
decline bench in front of a wall so you can put your feet up
on the WALL instead of
on the floor, which immediately solidifies and stabilizes the core, allowing for strong transference of force from the lower
body.
Few studies have investigated the effect of upper
body pressing angle (from
decline bench press to vertical shoulder press)
on deltoid muscle activity.
