There are many books out there that will give you a lot of misinformation. Or perhaps whats in the book is right, and your simply misinterpreting it. Either way, you need to see that your pec is one muscle (ok two actually, but one is under the other), and it will grow as one muscle. The variations of bench simply shift how much wieght is being moved by the muscle.

for instance, the higher of an incline you use on incline bench, the more you are working your shoulders, and hence, the less you are working your chest.

I know your new to this, so keep an open mind, reading one book isnt going to make you an expert, so soak up as much as you can from every source, and come to your own conclusions.

If you LOOK at an anatomy book, you could also say a pec has an inner and outer lol..





If you read an anatomy chart and make assumptions, then one good assumption is that BICEPS have a "lower" portion.. You know, that cool lookin' 'bump' coming up from your forearm... LOL!
Do you know the author of these quotes DH, thanks..

What's your fascination with isolating pectorals?

I don't think you need studies, let alone factual ones

Just look at the physiology and what pec minor and pec major are responsible for. In the end it doesn't matter since pec minor is so much smaller than pec major, imo anyway.

i think matt wants to isolate the left...upper...bottom...and right...of each of his pecs.


i'm sure he's got a mr. slave in the basement to help him
