Well this work out intrigues me. What are you guys' opinion on it?

They really hit the outside lower pecs, but are hell on the elbows.

Hmm I got to work on those lower pecs.. would you actually recommend it?

I prefer declines. The reverse grip just seems unnatural to me. Plus I have bad tendinitis in my right elbow. Go ahead and give them a try though. You might like them.

Hmm I'll give them a try but I also have some tendinities in my elbow so I might want to leave it and do the declines more

Indeed...completely not right feeling. For me causes more pain than good...Decline all the way

I do these sometimes. However, I do lighter weight for more reps and always on the smith machine. It puts more stress on my wrists then anything else. I only include it once or twice a month. I like to add different stuff to my chest work outs cuz' there's only so much variation if you don't get creative.

i did it for awhile, on the smith machine, trying to focus on my triceps. i didnt like it either. i heard an older pro saying it got really popular in the 80's until a lot of guys started getting hurt.
