Exercises to build upper pecs


HaNs

Recommended Posts

Incline bb press, incline db flyes, upper chest cable X-overs, lying cable "Y" flyes, side lying incline db flyes.

The exercise you mentioned and my first two are the most typically used, but they dont always work for everybody. The latter three can work nicely when used in conjuction and even supersetted with the incline presses and flyes. Hope that helps mate.

1. Upper Chest Cable Cross-Overs

You will need either a cable-cross over machine or a single high pulley for this exercise.

Get into position standing between the two high cross-over pulleys then take a small step forward. This small step forward puts more tension on the upper pecs at the start of the movement by increasing the stretch.

Bend over at the waist up to about 90 degrees.

The movement itself is very similar to the normal crossover. However, as you bring the cables in, you should push your hands forward of your body in a wide arc rather than bringing them directly down under your torso.

Essentially, you will be trying to bring the cable handles under your face rather than under your chest. This is the key to activating the upper pectoral fibers.

Keep your back arched and your chest puffed out and be sure to come around and forward as though sweeping your fist far out and around.

Couldnt be bothered wording it all myself. Copy/paste from google.
