This ones for everyone that’s looking to fill out their shirts....

We all do the good ole bench press, even an incline bench press which isn’t wrong and it’s not bad but, there is a more efficient way of targeting the upper chest muscles. The way you do this is by following the length of these muscle fibres and working with them.

Key tips/points 🔑

1. Change the angle of your hands. The angle of your hands shouldn’t be the traditional palms facing outwards. Instead they should be angled on a diagonal to match the angle of your upper arm (they should be parallel). This means the weight will follow the length of the upper chests muscle fibres resulting in way more activation from those fibres.

2. Bench angle/height does matter. To high and the front deltoids (front shoulder muscle) will take over the movement and you can say good bye to your upper chest gains. To low and now your focussing on the mid section of your chest (not that its bad to work the rest of your chest).

3. Even though it’s not in the video, target all the areas of the chest consistently and you will see some good results. Even though the upper chest will give your chest a much larger appearance when it’s developed 😉

Work hard, have fun, and be the hardest worker in the room 💪🏼
