To add to what I originally posted. There are a lot of EMG studies done on which exercises are the best muscle stimulators per bodypart. The full study you can see by clicking
here.
Now, as you'll notice, there is no studies done on inner chest, outer chest, upper right quad
, ect. Reason being, it acts as one unit. If what some people say about working the inner chest holds true, then wouldn't there be a dedicated section to inner: close grip bench, cables, pec dec flyes, ect. Like I said before, no human alive can flex a certain section of muscle without flexing the whole thing. Just worry about heavy compounds for your chest. The bigger you grow it out, the less of a "problem area" you'll have.
