Decline presses

How useful are decline presses? I use them in the hope that they will boost my flat benching strength but I wondered what others thought.

it works your lower peck i believe mainly a shaping of the muscle exercise my coach says but then again he is all about the huge thing like reg bench inclen squat u know core lifts but umm i do it as well hoping it helps but if it doesnt i still enjoy the shaping i get.

like irish said shaping mainly of the lower chest, if your not that keen on them, id suggest alternating them with a different exercise.
Doing each exercise once every 2 weeks.
Defiently a good exercise to keep in your routine though.
