building upper chest
does anyone have any workouts that worked really well for building the mass of your upper chest?

See 0311's sticky in the training section: How to target specific muscle sections.
It's a debated issue, whether are not you can selectively target certain sections or heads of a muscle. 0311 points out at the bottom of the post that it would it would be better to say you are emphasizing certain parts, but that a good movement is still going to hit everything nicely. Anyway, what you are looking for is the incline bench movements. Barbell press, dumbell press, and incline flyes. Do the incline movements first in your workout. I have the same issue. So I focus on incline movements. My chest comes along just fine, but the upper part always seems to lag, so I can't say it's worked any miracles. Hopefully someone will come along with a miracle workout for this :) . |
Ha, ha, I just noticed 0311 is on this thread. Maybe a miracle will indeed occur :) .

You cannot isolate a "part" of muscle. The entire muscle moves, not just part of it.

Are you saying he shouldn't bother with inclines, though? |
I'd say do inclines first because you'd be able to handle more weight as opposed to doing it later in the workout, then do flyes, maybe superset, throw in a tempo for flyes if you feel crazy :D.

My guys are using an incline bench routine, followed by (low position) incline cable flys or standing cable flys.
We add wide arm pushups and closed grip bench pushups as cappers. |
