Hi,

My gym doesn't appear to have any equipment that would allow me to do decline presses/flyes etc. When I was with free-freetrainers decline excercises always featured in my routine but they don't appear to in the Pro-freetrainers plan I'm on. Are these not neccesary then for overall chest development.

Confused :-s

Decline, flat and incline are all just variations of the same movement. While they are good changes it is not absolutely necessary to use them all for chest development.

I would go ahead and do some dips , just make sure you lean foward to put mroe focus on your lower chest .

Does your gym have just flat benches? You could try putting a couple of #45 plates under the foot of one. It doesn't take a sharp angle for decline movements. Either that or do a dumbbell chest press and at the top of the movement turn your hands to a neutral position and squeeze.
