I'm going to try to explain how I do them.......I only do declines.
As I lower the weight I would guess my elbows are out away from my body at about a 45 degree angle, I stop short of my chest but barely and start the upward movement. As I'm pressing the weight I try to bring my elbows in even more, as if I'm doing a decline fly but the weight is attached to my elbows. To be honest I have no idea if my elbows are actually rotating in more or it just feels like it. I came upon this when I jacked up my left delt something fierce and was trying to find a way to work around it. Not only did this take the pain in my delt out of the movement, it also increased how hard my pecs contracted during the movement.
