Decline Bench Press vs Bench Press

I tried out the Decline Bench Press (instead of the normal Bench Press). When doing so, I realized that I was lifting more on the Decline.

1. Is this normal?
2. If it is not normal, what's going on? Are my supporting muscles/arms weak and need to be improved?

Thanks!

    (try) upping weight on the bench press next time. I usually do decline after I've done standard bench press, and by that time I've fatigued my chest to where I couldn't do as much on decline.

    Eta: I don't think it's abnormal.

    shorter range of motion. Its normal to lift quite a bit more on decline.
