Bench pressing your mom.

I like incline db presses ...can feel it better. Try pre exhaust too with flyes...db flyes or cable. Flyes then presses...do not do flat bb press to neck gironda style..save your shoulders.

Pec minor dip and reverse grip flat press using the smith machine unless you are comfortable with your balance using a barbell - have a spotter and thank me in 6 weeks time.

i know a guy(not me,haha)who would injet his steroids straight into the lower and upper chest,hoping it will do something.

a true pioneer.

lol @ going incline to improve your upper chest, the only thing that will improve by increasing the angle of the incline presses or flyes will be your deltoids

Papper · « **Reply #17 on:** April 01, 2013, 02:20:52 AM »

Train the whole chest the way that feels best and get to a lower bodyfat and pray that you have good upper pecs. Not much revolutionary things you can do with lagging parts in this world. I have friends who tries to get these 'upper chests' but everybody's shape does not change much.

But think of it like this. If incline hits your chest better, they are therefore better for you upper as well and maximal growths may make upper appear better even though the chest grows as a whole.

Also, if you front delts get more work, it may create a separation between chest and delts which makes the upper seem more prominent. Who knows.

Need to think about all aspects and try stuff to find the best solution.

Ps. I think BigBobs is a sort of gimmick. Despite my serious reply

not if you use 30 degrees like willie wrote. when people use like 45 then yes delts are hit too much.

Genetics..

Choosing the right parents. Gear, food & training will do the rest.

yes this is what they say

however i wonder

a lot of people arch their backs on the incline so their chest seems far from 30 degree....

this all seems like epic broscience

FLAT bench press with high bar position(almost touching your chin).
It took 20yrs to realize that.

I gave you the two exercises that are superior to developing upper pecs - EMS studies have shown that incline work activates the area of the upper portion of chest at 5 % only where as the reverse grip flat bench works it 30% more than any incline work - add in pec minor work which will "lift" the pectorals up and voila you now have upper chest superior to doing inclines.

People who get huge development from inclines geneticly have more fibres in the area and would get upper pecs from any sort of chest work - Franco and Serge are prime examples
