Which pushups for upper chest?

[Manamnd]

Can anyone here advise me on what style of pushups isbest for chest development? I especially want to improve my upperchest with pushups. I know that bench presses are best, butcomparatively I want to know about pushups.

If you want to improve your upper chest, you need toalways do pushups from an inclined position, where your legs arehigher than you are. I find that different pushups will affectdifferent parts of the chest – a narrow positioning of hands willwork better for the central part of the chest, whilst the wide gripis best for outer parts.

As per Lev's suggestion. Feet raised above the body.

piggybacking up from lev's suggest do incline bench press work

but be careful with those shoulders

 

[muskate]

To prioritize the upper chest, do push ups where your feet are elevated on a chair.

And how much higher should my feet be over my overall body?

Focusing on minor details... have you actually started this or are you still 'researching'?? Pfft

Stick your feet on a normal chair and get on with it FFS

I wouldn't nit pick too much. Just do a variety and your chest will come along just find.
