    And...its an upper chest question!

    Ok getting back to the good old whats your fav....for upper chest development. I have gravitated away from flat bench to doing floor presses and that has worked out very well for my shoulders.
    And so with nothing changing I still see that I have very good lower pec development but my upper pecs are thin and pathetic giving my chest a not so pleasing shape.
    This is not a discussion about weather or not upper and lower chest can be separated. IMO that has already been proven by years and years of BBERS that say it works and they have the chest's to prove it.
    So what do you all do?

        Years ago when I first joined a gym I would do sets of DB incline press up and down the rack.......now because of injury I don't do flat bench I only do incline, as a result my upper chest is one my better body parts

          I use the Life Fitness machine for incline chest for mondays chest workout. On thursdays I will do DB inclines. I get a better pump from the DB's but I am weaker on them.

            Yeah I had to give up flat bench a few years back due to shoulders. But went to floor press and have been progressing nicely on that. Lower pecs are nice and thick. But upper peck are like ribbons. So have been looking at very low incline bench with dbls. Very low inc bench with dbls revers grip. And this old school one.
            You hold the dbls on your chest with them pressed against each other. Then you press them, holding them touching together, you do this on an indline.
            Prolly gonna use all three for now and see if I wanna continue that way or drop one out for more intensity on the other 2.
            OH and thanks bros.

                A few years back I came across an article somewhere on "Reverse Grip Bench Press". I gave it a shot and while it feels awkward at first at looks a little silly, I couldn't deny how much more it isolated my upper pecs by removing the assisting muscles usually associated with the bench press movement. Heres basically what it looks like:

                Anyway, it might be worth throwing into your workout every now and then. I've made them part of my regular chest routine...

                  Fosho MA and thanks bro.
                  Drkmn thanks for the vid. Yeah I have read so much on these. Some say triceps only and some say chest only and some say both. Im gonna give them a long term test and see what happens with me and them. I am gonna be doing them with Dbls and on a low incline so that should def make a difference

                      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
