Ultimate Upper Chest Workout W. The Godfather Of Bodybuilding!

😳Most of you guys are struggling to build your upper chest because all you are doing is pressing on an incline, which is a HUGE mistake. Today's video is going to show you the ONLY 3 upper chest exercises you need to sculpt the "upper chest line" and grow your upper pecs. According to chest anatomy, the chest muscle is separated by the large pec major muscle and the clavicular head (aka "the upper chest") These 3 upper chest exercises are going to force the clavicular head into growth with perfect activation and minimal use of surrounding muscle groups. While doing incline bench pressing is great, these are the exercises that will put the most targeted activation right on the upper pec muscle fibers.

Legendary trainer Charles Glass took me through an upper chest workout from h*ll and the moves that targeted the upper chest the MOST was while in an incline position, adducting towards the center of the chest as well as “pressing in” instead of pressing out. This is a unique movement but pay close attention to the first exercise I’m showing here in the video, and how the initial movement is a “press in” and not a “press straight out." It’s the little details that will sculpt your body like a Greek God.

Upper Chest Workout From Video:

1. Angled Press In (leaning on a preacher curl machine)

Make sure that you are "pressing in" to initiate the movement and do 3 total sets in the 10-12 rep range with 60 second rest times.

2. Wide grip parallel grip incline chest press

Palms facing each other with a wide grip. As you press up you will have a slight adduction towards the center of your chest. The slight inward movement as you press up will maximize activation in the upper chest.

3. Angles Upper Chest Flys

This one is maximum adduction. Focus on the adducting motion instead of the pressing motion. This exercise will give you a full stretch and maximum activation of the clavicular head. Also make sure you have a tiny pause at the bottom of the movement. Go light and focus on your form for 3 total sets in the 12-15 rep range.

4. Floor pause press (bonus exercise)

This chest exercise is done on a smith machine and is a great variation to the standard bench press. Pause at the bottom of the movement, and then explode up. Great way to shock your chest into hypertrophy!

Since I've been watching your vids and implementing your excercises I finally start noticing gains all over. I been out the game since I hurt my shoulder 2 years ago but got tired of looking like the pillsbury dough boy. It's been 4 months now and I been watching your vids and hitting the gym steadily and I'm feeling great. Your vids have inspired me to get back on track. Thanks....

Gotta go give these workouts a try now. Getting back into lifting, mostly for strength and to put on a little size but I always lack in the chest area. As far as the age guess, I'm going with 31!

Bench press incline with free weight will ultimately breakdown upper pecs and a good protein diet will make you gain those muscle
