A helpful tip: When choosing your grass seed look for the germination rate on the label. This is the percentage of seeds that germinated in lab tests. The higher the better. A rating of 90-95% is ideal.
The bench press is a compound push exercise that activates a number of upper-body muscle groups. These groups include the pectorals, deltoids, triceps, biceps, trapezius and core muscles. You can shift the emphasis of the press to specific muscle groups in that span by widening or narrowing your grip on the bar, by replacing a barbell with dumbbells, or by performing the press on an inclined or declined bench.

The decline bench press may function as an adjunct to the flat bench press but not as a replacement for the flat bench press.

Depending on your structure, the decline bench press may place more strain on your shoulder joints. Consult a health care professional before beginning any exercise.
