Upper Pecs - Incline Presses or Not?

[the.gladiator1987]

Inclines work well for upper chest, if your upper chest is lagging, I suggest doing incline movements first on your chest day. It allows you to move heavier loads and hopefully build more mass in the upper. Worked well for me anyways.

yea i can definitely tell the inclines worked in your avi!

I always thought that incline helped the upper chest develop.

I definitely believe in incline presses and flyes for the clavicular portion of the pecs. I also started using reverse grip bench presses for upper chest, as EMG studies show 40% greater fiber activation than even inclines! I do them rather light on a Smith and it crushes my upper chest!

Pretty interesting. Never even thought of trying reverse grip bench presses. I gotta give this a shot to see what it feels like.

Great move to destroy your upper chest.......similar feel to a low pulley upright cable flye except being a compound exercise its a much better exercise for mass, make sure you got someone spotting you tho as when you fail you do so spectacularly lol

incline press is what helped me build my chest, best exercise for chest period, i always start my chest workout with an incline press usually barbell but rotate it with db too.

Yeah , Jim Stoppani says this. I would need to see the the study on how many people they tested with this.

I can't believe there's a poll for this.
