From Old Man, Young Muscle you’ve seen why the dumbbell decline press or the cable chest press is best for maximum pec-fiber activation…
You get independent movement of both levers—your arms—which diffuses bilateral deficit. What the heck is that?

Pretend your Peter Fonda on his chopper in Easy Rider, only you’re pushing down—and you’re not stoned out of your gourd with Jack Nicholson behind you screaming that he will die if he doesn’t get an extra-large burrito immediately…
Small details like that can add up to bigger results—in this case, your best chest.
