Decline bench pressing

I had a heated discussion with a fellow bomber on decline movements for pecs. In his opinion, they must be included in a chest routine for total chest development. I have never been a big fan of them.. looking over brother iron/sister steel, you do not mention them at all. What’s your thought about declines?

NOT…

The lower pec area grows easily. Just look around at other trainees… over-development of lower pecs = hangy pecs in time… not good…

I prefer degrees of incline to hit hard-to-grow upper pec region and those coconut delts…
