Outer and lower chest

okole Posts: 2 Joined: 2005/04/25	2005/04/25, 09:00 AM So am trying to build up my outer and lower pecs. The gym in my building only has a bench machine(with straight or up/down handles), and a bench that can incline, with dumbbells. Any suggestions for building up these muscle groups with basically dumbbells only?

I know I need to do decline exercises, but my building's gym only has a flat bench that can incline by adjustment(and not safe to do decline on it). So am looking for any advice on something with dumbbells(also all they have in terms of free weights). that I can do standing up, or lying down on the flat bench. Don't even know if there is such a thing.
