I don't have much use for declines. They just raise your blood pressure and don't build any more strength over flat bench. If you want something with a similar movement pattern that also builds some functional strength, try dips. Supporting and balancing yourself will help build the stabilizers in your shoulders, more so than lying on a bench will. You can also use dumbbells to great effect. Good muscle builder, and good stabilizer builder to keep the joints stronger.
