psychedout said:Yeah okay buddy.
Anyways -- any heavy incline freewieght press will develop the upper chest nicely.
Anthrax said:What about declines ?
Debaser said:I'm not joking. There are a greater number of receptors in the shoulder girdle area which is why the upper chest, traps, and delts can look "steroidal."

Debaser said:I can't find it at the moment, it's outlined on the HST forum somewhere.
psychedout said:Debaser, Ulter debunked this information over on the anabolic forum.
I don't know who is right, but I do trust Ulter -- I believe the problem was that the studies performed on individuals who didn't work out.
Debaser said:I'm not sure if it really matters...more receptors is more receptors as far as I know, but AAS isn't my forte. But if you look at natural bodybuilders vs. steroidal ones at a similar weight, the upper pecs, traps and delts aren't as pronounced.

Synpax said:There is some argument about whether different parts of the chest can be 'emphasized' since it is just one muscle. Assuming differnet parts can (upper/lower/middle), declines would focus on the lower, not uppper, part of the pectoral.
I second those who say that the chizzle-foshizzle comes from low BF less than muscles. Given that you are a female, obtaining lower BF might also result in a shrinking of breast size.

crew9 said:You upper chest is your pectoralis minor, so yes you can focus on it.
Debaser said:No, it's not.
This is the pec minor. It's also underneath the pec major.

Narrow grip incline press
"A group of Australian scientists examined the effects of different bench angles and grip widths on muscle activity around the shoulder. For example, in comparing two functionally distinct regions of the pectoralis major muscle (i.e., clavicular head and sternocostal head), they found that the clavicular head of the pec major (the part attached to the collarbone or clavicle) was more active during a narrow grip vs. wide grip, esp. during the flat and incline bench press. Relative to the sternocostal head, the clavicular head was more active during a narrow grip incline bench. On the other hand, the sternocostal head of the pec major (part attached to the breastbone or sternum) showed its greatest activity during a flat bench; however, if you wanted greater relative involvement of the sternocostal head vs. the clavicular head, a decline press with a narrow grip seemed to work best. And for best maximal involvement of the entire pectoralis major muscle, the wide grip flat bench resulted in the greatest measured electrical activity."
excellent approachSynpax said:MAybe if you posted a pic, we could offer more guidance.
Lililston said:narrow.. wouldn't that just be like the close grip press except(this one's incline)??
