    I was a little late in reading the article with the clown that was about provide a stable surface for the the body.  My question is that… i'm a big fan of decline bench press.  I have stayed away from Flat Bench because heavy lifts have taxed my shoulders; Decline numbers constantly go up, noticeable gains to size and fullness, and never any shoulder problems keep me away from flat.  I will admit that i don't feel as stable on decline as a flat  bench though because of the below differences  i have experienced: Flat Bench Press:  can lay more heavily on traps and weight is more on top of you, keeping you more secure on the bench and fastened - plus arching your back a tad drives the weight on top of you even moreDecline:  feet are off the ground and you are on a "sloped" surface... weight doesn't quite sit on the traps AS WELL as the flat bench, feet can potentially dangleAre there things that can be changed to your form to increase the stability of one's decline BB Press or is it better to just go heavy on Flat bench and suck it up? Even lifting 1.5 times my body weight its a lot more difficult to stay planted to the decline bench. Maybe that's just strictly a Con of decline BB press?If delts pick up the work on Flat when going heavy is that a whole different problem?Thank you for reading and i really enjoyed the article  😉
