Can anyone give some advice please on how to gain size on the upper part of the chest, with all types of benching only the lower half of my chest gets bigger, even with lots of incline lifting.

whats your height and weight?

you can NOT work the chest in "parts". I don't know how this myth started but you can't. The fact that you are even doing incline bench press that is "suppose to work upper chest" and the lower part of your chest is developing more further proves that there is no working sections of the chest. You either work the chest or you don't in an exercise.
The reason your chest is developing this way is because of your genetics. So unless you are going to get man implants, your stuck with what you got. It's not such a bad thing.

Im 5'6 and 11 stone in weight, I thought as much, im not to worried about it but would prefer a more symetrical look is all. thanks for the advice.

I totally agree with you about this. Some exercises work a muscle harder than others but the muscle either gets worked or it doesn’t I also don’t buy the idea that muscles become used to what your doing and that you need to fool them by changing workouts a lot. A muscle does not have a brain. To read some articles you would think each muscle group had an IQ over 140

I'm a bit confused on this upper chest thing..

isn't the Clavicular Head the upper chest and doesn't it
get worked with incline presses?

Yes. It also gets worked with flat presses.

i disagree with you mate chest do have parts that why we are doing incline, dicline and flat workouts.

try and e-z bar incline...it works and you really feel it up there

And thus the myth propagates forward to more readers...
