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.

Otis, you can call it bullshit all you want, that doesnt make it untrue. That being said, you can do whatever you want in the gym, no one here will tell you to stop. But if you decided to give untrue advice, then we will definately step in.

You have to understand that the higher the incline goes, the more you incorporate the shoulders, so your not "targeting" the upper chest, your working your delts more and your chest less. Does it effect your development differently then flat bench, of course it does. But does it make your "upper pec" grow more, absolutely not.

And if one more person mentions "the pro's" I'm going to puke. Your not a pro, you dont eat like a pro, you dont use what pro's use, so why the hell would you train like a pro?

Please do some research Otis, this could all be avoided with just a bit of reading.
