If that is your workout it sucks bad. You can't isolate the upper chest....at best incline work might hit it 2-4% more then flat or decline work..Post your exact workouts for the week...

Looks like too much chest work. No need for all that really.

i'd try some cable flyes. For some reason, freeweights dont work my chest/tri's as much as they do for back/bi.

something about the ROm , and the constant tension, i don't know



I love dog meat.
