The upper chest is still part of the pec major. I don't see how you can work the clevical section more or independently from the sternal.

*clavical*

I'm not refuting that the pectoralis is ONE muscle, I agree. I also want to state that doing bench press does in fact work the upper chest to some degree. But, what I am saying is that the tensile contraction will vary with certain angles of pressing. Some angles do in fact stress the fibers to various degrees, hence incline, decline, ect. :)

okay. fair enough.

(still don't like inclines.)

Don't like inclines!! Just how big IS your chest without my favorite exercise???? :eek:

My chest is not very big...along with the rest of me. However, I do know people who have big chests (and arms, and legs, etc) and got them w/out inclines. I was just (poorly, I guess) trying to advance their argument against them.

Plus, my delts are weak, and I think they lead me to fail on the lifts before my chest is ready to.

My chest isn't really big sadly I can't do incline with the stuff i have at home. :(

Time to join a gym!
