Getting a Lower Ridge On Your Pecs

To achieve the lower ridge sculpt on your chest, use a combination of Decline Presses with a wide-variety of cable exercises. Many have had some success with Barbell Presses on the decline bench. Make sure the decline angle is not too big to prevent lot of stress from shifting to your arms and your delts. For best results use a shoulder-width grip and keep your arms in close to your sides.

Form is key. Occasionally mix things up with Decline Dumbbell Presses to stretch the pecs and put more work on your stabilizers. Using various Cable Crossover and Cable Fly movements to finish your chest off is beneficial. The constant tension that cables provide is incredibly helpful in developing a well rounded chest.

Be sure not to work against this continuous tension by jerking through the exercise or by swinging body momentum into the movements. Strict and smooth form is very important.
