Decline bench press substitusions?

Hey guys, I just joined a new gym due to "economical" reasons and found that they don't have a decline bench nor a declined free weight bench. Is there any exercise I can do that can target my lower pecs as much as decline bench does? I've tried cable cross-overs, but did not feel as if it targeted my desired area.

Probably not the best place to ask about building the "lower pecs"....but dips is as close to a decline bench as you can get.

for christ's sake please read the FAQ. otherwise you can try bodybuilding.com teen section.


DIPS. DO THEM. ADD WEIGHT. LEARN TO LOVE THEM.

If you do powerlifting style bench with an arch then it's essentially like decline bench except you're way more stable, can get considerably more leg drive, and with practice can move a lot more weight.
