We, as a group, are very passionate. But better by far to be passionate about something rather than nothing......

Thanks. I know too many people who have no fire and passion in their lives at all. Pretty hellish way to live IMO.

Thanks for the response but...that doesn't really clarify anything.

If you were to run an experiment, and do nothing but incline presses day in and day out, what do you think would happen? What you're saying is that your muscles would be lumpy and completely disproportioned, right?

Ah...I think I see what you're saying.

Even though there is a smaller upper chest head (the clavicular head) that does get worked with incline presses, it does so at the same time as the rest of the chest gets worked (the sternal head). And therefore you can't work either to the exclusion of the other.

Thanks the replies.

Well, wolf and rat should probably duke it out in private messages. But i noticed that my upper chest was lacking and out of proportion, giving my chest a sloped down look, rather than a round, filled out look. The problem was in my technique for incline presses, i lowered the bar too far forward. If you want to devlop the upper area of the chest, lower it just below the neck, on the collar bone area. And by the way, i think it is FUCKING BULLSHIT whoever says you cant work certain areas of the chest. Every single pro bodybuilder will tell you otherwise, and i can spot a guy a mile away who doesnt do incline work. Im living proof that a lack of incline will give you bad proportions, and that its there for a reason.
