Upper Chest
I was very weak on my chest as my shoulders and arms are my stongest and biggest body part. In time I have learned to isolate my chest and I have made great improvements and managed to get a better balance on my upper body. The problem is that my upper chest is still lacking while my mid and lower chest has really responded well.
I've been incorporating lots of incline presses, fly movements, sitting lower on the pec dec machine etc but I'm not getting a lot of joy. Has anyone any tips or advice?

Some people will argue that to hit the upper chest you need to do incline whilst others say that it doesn't matter what angle you do, it recruits the chest as a whole.
I stick mostly to incline press, bar or dumbell, exercises primarily because of comfort but also because it's hard to shift the idea that incline works the upper.I love it when a plan comes together.

Incline DB press might hit the top of your chest 1% or 2% more than flat bench, other than that it's just genetics.
I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

A dodgy proposition...
Isolate? Genetics? pfffft!
I'd concentrate solely on "upper" chest movements, vary the rep and set scheme(s), and cut back the volume on more favorable body parts.
Post your program and workout(s) so that others may give a more detailed critique.
You might be doing too much, too little, etc, etc.
Oh, btw, good job so far...
