I thought so also till I read this article.This guy named Doug Brignole,wrote a book called " The Physics of Fitness".The flat bench doesn't pin point the stenal pectoral fibers because of its insufficient range of motion,Whereas the Decline Does,with its angle and range of motion hits those same pectoral fibers 80% more and with less stress on the Delts.I read the article in Iron Man Magazine
