Not IMO it isn`t.

[Coach is Back!]

No, but training lower is.

[Big Chiro Flex]

Clavicular head of peace

[Frank Clairmonte]

no it isnt.

[the trainer]

Concentrate on your upper chest guys it will make you look very impressive in da club.

[Coach is Back!]

no it isnt.

I'm aware of that. What I was getting at is there is no specific exercise for "lower" chest. Not decline, not dips, etc.

[Simple Simon]

Im not sure, but I cant flex my lower and upper pec independently of each other.

[OTHstrong]

if the motion is different, even a slight angle, the development of muscles will be different

[Uncle Junior]

No, but training lower is.

Not sure about that my lower chest seems to really respond to weighted dips.

To the OP, you cannot generalize about things like that it depends entirely on the individuals biomechanics and genetics as to what exercises will correlate to improving a body part so yes for some it could be myth for other no its very real.

[Waller]

Try dumbbell bench rotating the dbs as you go up ending with your pinkies together and squeeze. See what burns

I always keep them, they occasionally get deleted by the owners.

That ones gone from Juniors thread.

I have a lovely selection of yours, one even has ripped glutes (I think)   

[Coach is Back!]

I only did declines when I first started training in the belief that it would actually develop the "lower chest". After it was explained to me it was total bullshit. I stopped. Haven't directly trained "lower chest" in 35 years. It's right up there with training "lower biceps". My chest turned out fine..

fixed, and still true.

whether it helps your lower pecs or not, it is a different movement, hence it will yield a different development, albeit marginal but still.

The whole point of decline pressing is reduce the involvement of the deltoids in the movement, which I find to hold true.

I wouldn't say that upper chest training is a myth per se, but I think that any chest movement that adequately stimulates the muscle for an individual will hit the whole muscle, upper & lower

Agree. And prefer declines as main exercise as seems to work chest most effectively to me.

Yes, Leopold 

[Big Chiro Flex]

I primarily target my upper-inner pecs on each movement, most don't have the mind muscle connection I do though.
