    Spoon press, under grip on smith machine, smith machine press to Adam's apple, incline smith machine sit sideways on seat so knees face weight stack u are pressing one arm at a time. By turnin the body sideways the arm comes across the torso which is the point of chest.....bringing arms across your torso. These work fantastic!

    That spoon press is a great finisher and isolated in general! Just be careful with some DB they will slip and u bust a pinky with the DB. Ask me how I know lol! The hex DB are much Safer just keep it in the back of your head lol.

    stretching the pecs is so important for some reason, mores imho than any other group. I know Arnold used to do flyes and hold at the stretch position as long as he could, I did the same and my chest became one of my best bodyparts.just 02c

    Gotta try these. My shoulders are jacked. Had a full tear of my rotator cuff 3 years ago........ long recovery. And now my other shoulder has problems. I can see where the spoon press would be easier on the shoulder capsule. I will report back.

    Don't worry about going heavy on the spoon presses. They are gerat at about 40%. I usually don't go over 50lbs. And I can incline DB press 140's pretty easy at times! I like to press them up and back over your head. Not just straight up over the chest. The movement back over your head will really focus the contraction into your upper pec! And remember to really squeeze the pec for a good 2-3 seconds at top!
