Upper chest Help

Munchie · 08-09-2005, 04:42 PM

Can anyone recommend a good exercise for the upper chest? I have noticed my lower chest growing faster than the top, or is that normal to start with?

i use incline flys, press, not to heavy, squeez and make the upper chest do the work, i direct the force to them by using a lower poundage.

you could try putting the incline press and fly work at the start of your workout, i do flat first one week then incline first the next week works pretty well for me.

I normally do Bench Press 1st, then incline press 2nd and the incline and flat flys after the bench machine, do you think it would make much difference doing them before?
I guess i would be more fresh to start with.

wnen i do incline first i can lift more weight cause wnen i do flat bench i push mself as hard as i can, so i just rotate things 2 try and even things out not saying it will work 4 u we are all different, but i try to keep my workouts interesting by doing something different whether that be forced reps, negatives reps, use dumbells instead of barbell or just changing the order a little bit,

I do decline flys and incline press(superset) that coupled with cross-overs(not sure correct term seems to have worked wonders so far......
