Working the upper inside of your chesticle...... need some tips here....

[jh1]

My chest, what little there is, builds on the outside towards the bottom ...

Want to know what are the best ways to hit the upper center of the chest without concentrating even more on tris & front deltoids... I have a hard time keeping keeping the weight loads on my chest with any press as it is - my tris and delts seems to take over...


Also, Digimon is kinda cute - dont chall think?

I do Incline & Decline... no flat.

I have problems keeping it focused on my chest as I mentioned - i think it hits my tris, and when I do incline - it hits my front delts - if that's even possible. Anyway.. yea...

 

[pdaddyII]

incline dumbells and dips are all I do for chest. Do some super-sets on the incline and really focus on the negatives.

 

[Raptorex]

decline is a waste of time...go flat and heavy

spread your hands apart a little further and use a little bit less of an incline. . .experiment until you find the sweet spot. . .

lower your weight on bench until you can completely focus on chest.. it's a lot mental believe it or not.. once you can start doing flat w/ mostly chest up the weight more and more... also move your hands further apart, the wider the grip the harder it hits your chest

Don't laugh, but start doing incline on the smith. You'll be able to really stretch your upper chest without having to use tris to stabilize the bar as much. I like focusing on the negative and bringing the weight down to my chest, stretch and really concentrate as I explode upwards.

I start with flat bench press, incline smith, dumbbell declines and end with cable flyes. My chest has always been the weakest part of my body. Before I started my cycle I was doing 225x4 and now I'm up to 265x8 for my last set. Granted I'm on A.A.S...

yeah. . .but you're feeling it in your tri's. . .hands to close together. . .plus you "hit the center of your chest" with the stretch at the bottom and the beginning of the pressing move off of your chest. . .

good thread. i to am a member itty bitty titty committee.

do some incline db presses and bring the db's together at the top and try to squuze at the top. Also tuck ur chin into ur chest and you should feel the upper chest squeeze together. And you can also add some type of incline machine to your program. There is one at my gym that you load with plates and have some free motion so you can squeeze ur hands together at the top.

Flat bench barbell presses to the throat. Nonlock on the top portion.

Light incline BB presses. Ditto DB presses and DB flyes. I also like cable flyes from the bottom - squeeze your upper inner pecs at the top and hold it.

I focusses specifically on bringing up my upper chest about a year ago and found dropping from 275 on the incline for like 6 to about 185 for 12 (light, 4 second negative and a quick 1-2 second positive). I also threw in 3 sets of light DB incline presses 3 days later (REALLY light just to get blood into the upper chest to help healing). I did that for 4-6 weeks straight, gave my chest a break for a month and hten did something similar but with slightly different exercises and order thereof.

The trick is to really focus on using your upper chest to fight the resistance of the weight. This will work if you take 4-5 months and really concentrate on it. Worked for me anyways and I don't think I'm special.

Same problem here.

I have wide shoulders and find it incedibly difficult to fill in the inside of my chest. I have narrowed up my grip since I started lifting again and have stopped flat bench for good. I am noticing change, but it will take time. Also my right pec inserts lower than the left, so it is visibly larger. Should I stick to dumbells only until it evens out?
