upper pec

Well the obviouis answer that would come to anybodies mind is "do incline presses" or any sort of incline movement for that matter. I don't know though man...you only have ONE pec major muscle. It does not (anatomically) differentiate into "upper" "middle" or "lower" as far as orientation of the various fibers are concerned.
Just my quick two pennies worth.

I love to start with incline heavy dumbells. I feel it helps a whole lot on the development of your pectorals. If you want mass you need that good form and heavy weight bro.
kkk
thanks bros for reply, yes i do incline press, but i think i need a little more mas
talking about good form and heavy. well IMO it´s very dificult use lift heavy and keep the good form. may be if i have a partner but in my position i don´t have it
thanks

why do u said that? have u seen a anatomia book?
I think Merkaba is just reiterating njc's point: the chest is all one mass, it's not divided into sections like various exercises suggest. I assume the question regarding calories, bulking and whether you're lifting heavy or not, is all to do with if you want more chest growth, you need to left heavy and ensure you consume the calories to enable it to grow. If you're training hard but not eating enough to capitalise on your hard work, you probably won't see much development. Apologies if you know this already, and sorry if I'm not clear and my choice of words are poor.
thanks bro, nono u don´t have to give apologize-
good point talk about calories.
in my experience,. when i went to medical school i remember to see the uper midle and low chest section, i know it s just one muscle, but the fibers come from three diferent directions.
thanks for the reply people.
But aren't the different fibres designed to move the shoulder joint at different angles? As in, just the way the bicep is one muscle, you can work your brachialis or not, or the triceps are one, you can emphasise different "heads" of the muscle.
For example, If you do cable crossovers, the upper middle area does not contract until your arms are close together.
And if it is all "one" muscle that one muscle how come the upper region of people who do not do incline.
I'm still on the fence on this one.

low to high cable crossovers
I got distracted halfway through ^_^
meant to say how come it doesn't grow as fast as the lower pec till you start incorporating incline into the routine? I've noticed this in myself and numerous other "gym buddies"

You can't isolate a portion of your chest. Doing incline and decline chest work is to (a) provide a wider variety of stimulus to help the associated muscles make steady gains and (b) to place a little extra emphasis on a portion of the chest. It's like how you can position your legs and feet differently in squats to vary the lift and work different parts of the leg slightly more. Wide stance doesn't place all the work on the adductors, but it gives a little extra oomph. Same with front squats...they give the quads extra work, but aren't "isolating" them.
In the end, it's just to provide a healthy variety of training. The chest works as one.

i am just speculating but-
If you stand in the Anatomical postition and flex your pectoral the lower sweep will harden and the striations in the lower portion will appear, however if you then raise your arms to your sides parallel to the ground and flex again their should be a more or less even 'hardness' across the pectoral regions upper and lower. Now again raise your arms to your sides but above the horizontal plane as if you wre performing incline presses,now flex. The 'upper' region should now be the hardess showing striations across the clavicle. One point of this is that when the arms are raised up the lower portion of the chest is more stretched to compensate for the angle of the press and will not engage in the same manner it would in a flat or decline movement.
Does this demonstrate the isolation of pectoral regions ?

you are talking about muscle contracction and relax.
flex your leg------ready.,? now flex the pectoral ,it´s not flexion move!
yea man!

Fo real this is what I'm talking about. I know the science says different in an ideal situation but the real life implications don't seem to match the theory imo.

You want to work the upper pec? Just work it!
What stimulates contracting that part of the pec muscle includes, 1) Incline presses (dumbbell or bar, or both), chin up chest out cable crossovers (low to high), push ups with your feet up high. It's not that complicated.
You have to do heavy weight, if your genetics aren't there!
Between sets it is nice to contract your pec muscles, left and right, while performing the same motion as the cable crossovers to feel the muscle with that special pump! You can do this every morning before hitting the shower just to keep that part of the pec muscle stimulated, which helps with recovery.
Para mi es demasiado facil! Chevere pana!
