Chest developement 101

[Rogue Warrior]

As we have seen from another post the inner and out chest is stimualted simultaneously through any number of chest routine. YOU CAN'T ISOLATE DIFFERENT AREAS OF ORIGIN TO INSERTION OF THE MUSCLE ON ANY BODY PART. Its all about where you seperate body parts when it comes to practical application of this biological truth. Correct me if I'm wrong but You can hit the upper abdominal and not effect the lower, lower back and not the upper.

The upper chest and not the lower? My NFPT training manual says you can, but a post reply to the other chest developement thread disagrees. Give me some input.

Everyone is going to argue about this and it has been argued a million times before...
From the best of my memory the chest constitutes the pectoral minor, pectoral major, and then there is the clavical portion(is that even considered part????)..
Do a search and I'm sure you can find a lot of discussions on the matter.

upper abdominals and lower abdominals? no. there is no such thing.

upper back yes....because the back is a complex of muscles. lats, traps, teres, etc. lower back is considered the spinal erectors.

dont be so quick to group regions of the body into one muscle.

as for the chest as a whole, there is varying degrees of fiber involvement as you go from different angles of pressing due to mechanical advantage.

Sure, I'm not sure I can train my chest to just get ONE of the particular parts of it sore... but I know I can BUILD those parts through varying exercises.

I know I can't JUST FOCUS on the inner chest, but if i want to HIT that part, I know the exercises to do it.

Incline is a great exercise, and it is the part of the chest that most men need development on.
