huge chest mass

[toshiba11]

hey what is a good exercise to develop size on your upper inside part of your chest. I know incline is for the top half of your pecs but i only do incline exercises and the outside of my chest is develpoing nicely but the inside is a little behind.


ANY ADVISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't work different areas of your chest, it doesn't work that way.

 

[toshiba11]

yeh but is their any exercise that focuses on the top inside of the chest muscles?

[BigRed54]

um... Did somone say it doesn't work that way?

 

[the_only_sepe]

try close grip bench press with elbows out to side, yes this does work tri's but supposed to hit inner chest also

 

[genarr3]

One could argue that it is possible to work upper chest due to the fact that there is a seperate upper chest muscle, but inner, no.

Here is my take on it for what it is worth. A muscle is encased with each end ending in a tendon which attaches to bone. When a muscle contracts the area between the tendons is worked. WHile you can change exercise form or slightly vary the angle etc to target different muscles, you can not specifically target the areas in a given muscle between the tendons.

You most definately focus on one part of your chest.Your grip ,degree of incine ,etc all work different areas.I would recommend incline hammer presses for upper and inner.Also cable crossovers are good for the inside but really squeeze your inner pecs at end.

Different areas as in different muscles, but you can not specifically work a certian portion of any given muscle. The contractile force of a muscle between two tendons is what causes motion

hey buddy.

here is what I do on chest day.
I have been developing this line down the middle of my chest. The bitches love that shit.

FLATBENCH:
1 warmup set
3 sets slightly normal grip
INCLINE BENCH:
3 sets slightly closer-normal grip
INCLINE DUMBELLS:
2 sets
FLATBENCH DUMBELLS:
2 sets
CABLES:
2 sets incline flies (stand up right, attach cables to bottom, you dont need to do an extreme amount of weight to get results here)

I dont see any reason why your chest shouldnt grow if you use this chest workout. The slightly closer-normal grip on incline will help isolate your upper chest rather than your shoulders. By closer I mean only 2 inches closer than normal. Good luck.

Every gym should have an anatomy chart hanging on the wall.

the only factor in hitting outer and middle areas of ches is grip, obviously a wide grip will focus on outer, but a closer grip should hit inner a little more as long as you lock out and squeeze hard at top.

 

[toshiba11]

thanks for all the replies im gonna try a closer grip of my incline bench and try the hammer incline dumbells

Because of this you need to get more of a stretch when going through the movement to activate more muscle cells in between those tendons......
