Decline bench question

[Knoxy]

I started noticing some lop-sidedness in my pecs so I added decline bench to my chest routine to try and correct it. I typically do these on a smith machine and my question is at what point on my chest do I want to bring the bar? I've played around a little and it just doesn't feel like I'm stressing my pecs enough. Thanks!

below your nipples...but...depends on where's comfy for your shoulders...the higher on my chest I come down, the more I have to rotate my elbows up towards my ears. Try this -- bench about 80% of your max, but try it with your back arched and your ass waaaaay off the bench when you cheat for those last couple reps -- that's approaching what a decline bench is supposed to feel like

I have noticed too it doesn't feel like im working my pecs much but I can always tell the next day for sure. Try supersetting with dips.

try DB's instead. the smith machine sucks. IMO..... oh and it should be your stongest DB press so you need to go heavy i mean end of the rack heavy

Definitely use dumbbells--you can't compensate for a weak side with db's. Why do you think that declines are going to fix lopsidedness?? I would make sure that you really focus on the weak side during chest exercises to make the mind-muscle connection and make sure that you tear down that side as well as possible.

Sorry, I wasnt clear on this. It's a lopsidedness across a horizontal axis, not a difference between my right and left pec. Thanks to everyone for the advice.
