Dumbbell Incline Press (Target Your Upper Chest) - Clavicular
Channel: Physique Development
Date: 2021-04-02

In this video, Physique Development Coach Sue shows you how to target the upper chest during an Incline DB Chest Press.

Three divisions of the Pectoralis Major:

- Clavicular (Upper Chest)
- Sternal (Mid Chest)
- Costal (Lower Chest)

So, the question becomes: "Can I bias which division I am training?". You sure can!

The goal is to line up the resistance with the division of the muscle you want to train (bias).

The main role of the pectorals in training is to aid in pulling the upper arm across the chest toward the midline of the body.

When performing horizontal pressing — like the bench press — you will be integrating the responsibility of the pecs with the helping hand of the deltoids and triceps to complete the range of motion. When performing exercises such as the fly, the deltoids and triceps will continue to lend their helping hand, but much less.

So, remember when pressing it’s not simply about getting the dumbbells to the top; it’s the integration of pressing and driving the upper arm in. When flying, don’t think about bringing the handles or dumbbells together as much as actually driving the upper arms in toward the sternum (middle of the chest).
