FAQ: How To Build Up Upper Chest?

What is the best exercise for upper chest?

Single-joint incline fly: You probably already do some kind of single-joint movement in your workout, but make it one that focuses on the upper pecs. A few good choices are cable crossovers from the lower pulleys, incline-bench cable flyes, and incline-bench dumbbell flyes.

Can you target upper chest?

The upper portion of your pecs has a different nerve innervation than the lower part of the pecs. Therefore, it is possible to target that area, because the muscle in the upper pec, though part of the pectoralis major, acts like a separate muscle. You just have to focus on that area.

Does incline really work upper chest?

The purpose of the incline press is to focus more of the work on the upper pecs. The main benefit in performing incline presses is to develop the upper portion of the pectoral muscles. When the bench is set at an incline (15 to 30 degrees), you activate your shoulders more since it’s comparable to a shoulder press.

Do elevated push ups work upper chest?

An incline pushup is an elevated form of a traditional pushup. Your upper body is elevated with an exercise box or other piece of equipment. While traditional pushups work your chest, arms, and shoulders, incline pushups take some of the pressure off your arms and shoulders to give you a solid chest workout.

Is upper chest hard to build?
