I knew Franko Colombo and he showed me how he built his upper chest.I worked for Russell knip at world class gym equipment when I met Franko..When I was dropping off a calf machine at Francos home he showed me a shed behind his home he trained it at times.He had an adjustable incline bench built on a very steep angle.He would put the adjustable incline bench on a very steep angle also as if he was doing sholders.He put the adjustable incline bench under his Smith machine and focused on feeling and hiting the upper cheast.Thanks for the great video.

It’s impressive to see how much wisdom and growth you’ve accumulated just since the start of pandemic. You’ve been putting out banger after banger with great tidbits and suggestions that are really helping me. Don’t want to keep inflating your ego, but you and GVS are the two guys I go to most for advice. Always great stuff.

Spot on brother! 💪 Increasing the angle by just 10-15 degrees on incline press is 💯% one of the best pieces of advice for most people. Including the dumbbell incline press & low to high single arm cable fly’s are other keys to building a stronger & bigger upper chest.

I truly feel the need to say congratulations Alex. I've been a long time follower (I remember the first video I saw of yours was one about weighted pull ups for big lats that somehow was even older than your first novice programs, 2015-2016 I think). I'm 24 now, but since I was 16 I've seen this channel mature and progress over the years with it's ups and downs and now it's one of the best fitness content someone can get on youtube, and I feel that I've matured along with this channel over time, and it was a great contributor to my fitness perspective in general. Saludos desde Argentina, capo! 🇦🇷

Man... At first my journey to gym or building muscle I couldn't understand most of the things you said ( plus I'm learning English) but as I rewatched many of your videos, I noticed that it is a gem 💎 ... And lot of things are starting to make sense .. Plus you are a true inspiration..

I used to not watch you ba j in the day. But I love your insights. When I hear you talk about Missing links, and connections drawn, it’s like I’ve found my kind of people.

Love the message! Machines (not just chest machines) are often looked down on by the average gym bro.
As time passes, I find myself incorporating more machines into my workouts (preacher bicep machine, hack squats, pec dec, etc) best for true isolation and therefore hypertrophy!

Also for upper chest, one of my favorite tips is to actually open up the chest and not tuck your elbows so much! It will be significally harder (you'll have to lower the weight) but the pressure on the upper pecs is IMMENSE!

Dude I found your advice for upper pecs in a previous video and had been applying the same principles. Sucked that I had to drop a decent amount of weight but i absolutely feel my upper pecs engage way more now that I've gotten my form flatter on the bench and not arching during an incline bench press.

Can't wait to start seeing some gains like you have, thanks man!

Your physique is mental lad. Seriously respect for all the game you give to the younger generation!

The only form of bench pressing I’ve been doing is the 30 degree incline SM press. I love the movement.

Great video man. The incline smith press, to the clavicle or upper pec, is great for the upper pecs. Probably my favorite. I haven’t gone back to a barbell since, but I’d be curious to see if that bar path does translate a bit more like you mentioned. The incline plate loaded/hammer strength press is something I initially felt in my delts a bit more too, but I fixed this by moving my butt forward on the seat a bit, this helped a ton. You could even try putting a yoga block or something behind your butt to standardize it a bit more. Also gets a bit more rom at the bottom so I’ll never turn that down!

DUDE I’m so happy that you’re doing this - lol I’ve let my ego go and decided to use machines for bodybuilding

I got crazy freaky upper chest growth from two exercises, which both sound odd, but work. Low incline (10-15 degrees) reverse grip, close "grip" (elbows almost at sides), dumbbell floor press. Your elbows rest on the floor, and when you press up over your line of sight, you can really fell your upper pecs clap. Followed that with very wide "grip" (elbow right out to the side) floor flies (press flies as you fatigue), you feel a deep stretch because your scapula are pinned together by the floor.

I have hyper mobile ALL joints. Thanks you so much for bringing that up! I get a lot of injuries from that and no-one seems to address it! Great vid.

Easy enough to just say this and it make sense, because it does. Going through it though makes the message (and the experience) so much more impactful.
