The Upper Chest Workout

This guy.

The upper chest is truly the most powerful part of the whole chest region. It participates in every shoulder exercise and is a primary mover, more or less, in the most intensive of exercises, such as the pull up. To train the upper chest most efficiently a special combination of strength and hypertrophy are required. A great upper chest workout will not only result in a sculpted upper chest but also well defined triceps, sculpted shoulders, and large traps. Here is the upper chest workout!

Day 1
Incline Dumbbell Press - 2 sets of 5 reps - 3 minutes and 30 seconds rest
Decline Push ups - 3 sets of 8 reps - 45 seconds rest


Day 2
Incline Dumbbell Flies - 2 sets of 5 reps - 3 minutes and 30 seconds rest
Handstand Push up(or an easier variation) - 3 sets of 8 reps - 45 second rest


Day 3
Hammer Grip Incline Dumbbell press - 2 sets of 5 reps - 3 minutes and 30 seconds rest
Decline Push ups (Hands together) - 3 sets of 8 reps - 45 seconds rest

  • Each day should have at least one day of rest(at most 2) to get the maximum growth out of your upper pecs.

Remember! This is not a full workout! Every week you should in compass every muscle group within your body in your workout regimen. This is just a part of a bigger workout. This set of exercises would be placed nicely after a triceps exercise(s).

Now go and build some massive pecs!
