Working the upper inside of your chesticle...... need some tips here....

do some incline db presses and bring the db's together at the top and try to squuze at the top. Also tuck ur chin into ur chest and you should feel the upper chest squeeze together. And you can also add some type of incline machine to your program. There is one at my gym that you load with plates and have some free motion so you can squeeze ur hands together at the top.

Flat bench barbell presses to the throat. Nonlock on the top portion.

Light incline BB presses. Ditto DB presses and DB flyes. I also like cable flyes from the bottom - squeeze your upper inner pecs at the top and hold it.

I focusses specifically on bringing up my upper chest about a year ago and found dropping from 275 on the incline for like 6 to about 185 for 12 (light, 4 second negative and a quick 1-2 second positive). I also threw in 3 sets of light DB incline presses 3 days later (REALLY light just to get blood into the upper chest to help healing). I did that for 4-6 weeks straight, gave my chest a break for a month and hten did something similar but with slightly different exercises and order thereof.

The trick is to really focus on using your upper chest to fight the resistance of the weight. This will work if you take 4-5 months and really concentrate on it. Worked for me anyways and I don't think I'm special.

Same problem here.

I have wide shoulders and find it incedibly difficult to fill in the inside of my chest. I have narrowed up my grip since I started lifting again and have stopped flat bench for good. I am noticing change, but it will take time. Also my right pec inserts lower than the left, so it is visibly larger. Should I stick to dumbells only until it evens out?
