What's making a difference is making sure my scapula is pinched and not caving my chest. Essentially just making sure your form is correct.
Put the bench on a slight incline and angle the inside of the dumbells down, making a slight V shape. Make sure the dumbells are over your nipples or slightly below for the whole movement of the press. If they come over your upper chest or delts you can lift more weight but you take the pressure off your chest and put it on your front delts.
Hope this helps!

That's great advice regarding the scapula Haz and I would also like to add.
CLARKY
Don't have the incline to high and also change the angle every workout until you feel the right angel which suits you bests.
I prefer db's doing incline and once you get the bells above your head bring your shoulder joints kinda back into the bench and into your scapula, so in other words try and lock your shoulder IN instead of having them out so try and make yourself more narrow by pulling your shoulder in and back, hope that makes sense. Its very important.
Keep both feet flat on the floor but just a slight few inches back from your knee, now pinch your shoulders together so you squeeze them into the bench and scapula and push down and forward with your feet, you your trying to push yourself slightly up the bench but you cant because your shoulders are locked into it but the pressure from the tensed thighs and feet placing is producing a hard solid core and very ridged.
Brace lowering your diaphragm, breath through your belly and push your oblique's out and start pressing. Were you start with the bells either above your head, chin, nipples is up to you how your body feel, but you will get the groove right once you do is correctly. The best correct way for performance would be to have all the power and weight under your body, so in other words, bells above directly below inline with your elbows and shoulders so when your press and unlock the lower is straight through and that will result in more power which will end up with more tissue stimulated.
Press down while your doing all the above and on the way up slightly bring the bells inwards so it puts more tension on the upper chest and away from the triceps, I see loads just pressing straight you but their chests are sh1t, bring them slight in and don't lock your elbows, just keep a nice slow pace thinking about how you got your body in position and keeping in this ridged state.
I know it may be a few things to think about before actually doing the movement but honestly it takes me less than 1-2 seconds to set up and I go all out and I can see my chest red full of blood all over the top of my chest.
Not sure if I explaianed that right but any areas I didn't let me know and I will go over it again, again that's just my view but you watch the pro's do it

Great explanation! I may have to check my foot placement in correlation of what you said - it would/will produce more power than being planted out b/c your not locked in which in turn produces more power correct???
I also have been wanting to ask - if I want to build my upper chest up - should I use a slight incline in place of flat - and then do regular incline(or super incline) w/all my lifts as if they were my flat exercises or should I include decline, or rotate back and forth staying w/flat as well?? I've never given this a go - and I feel I need more depth up top...Last edited by NACH3; 08-08-2015 at 08:51 AM.

If you want to increase your upper chest use an incline bench, not to high and not to low, this will depend on you and how well your shoulders are.
Locking in correctly will produce a hard core, a ridged trunk, your like squeezing two ends of your body together slightly your shoulder are down and in your scap and pushed right into the bench and your feet are flat and pushing down tensing through the thighs and slightly pushing your body upwards, two ends ate squeezing together, this along side bracing your core and breathing right will produce a super strong core which will produce serious power. Get the db placing right so the power is under your joints and don't lock the elbows at the top and slightly bring the bells together so your triceps are taken out and you should have the best chance possible at targeting your upper chest.
Any lift no matter what it is you should be concentring on making your core/trunk ridged and hard, this will produce power. I can not lock in properly on any lifts shoulder press/chest rows and my power is down and I can feel slight niggles or in Clarky case wee niggles and your not giving it the best shot and remember we train hit. There is no 2nd chance its one or even two working sets that's it and your suppose to be going to failure, how can anyone truly go to all out failure with a sift trunk. All you need to think about when locking in and breathing like ive mentioned on other posts is while your doing any major lift can you withstand a punch from me in the belly? will your core be tense to help block the punch??? if not your not in the right and most powerful position.

For me..... Having the incline set to high puts too much pressure on my delts.
I remember Dorian saying that the chest is a flat muscle. You can't target one specific part. The key is to find what lifts activate the most fibers.
According to a study (can't find it now) the decline bench activate the most fibers followed by incline dumbell flys. If I'm also not mistaken.... Dorian was a big decline advocate. Unfortunately declines kill my shoulders.

08-08-2015, 09:24 AM #23356
Dorian was a huge believer in the decline and many times he said no matter what movement your doing with chest more or less all the chest is getting activated. But for me ive only done decline once in probably 20 yrs now and that's when I tore my RC so I never do decline or flat bb bench.
Shoulders gets targeted all the time and high incline is bad news IMHO a lower incline and playing around with it until you feel your groove is best. Ive never done flat db press or anything what is flat to target the upper chest it doesn't work for me. I like it to pop out when you have a shirt on and people seem to talk to your chest lol, that's funny

Have to jump in here and too.much to quote or even high light.
So with what marcus said...bringing the dumbells in slightly instead of straight up. I'm picturing the inner part of db almost lined up with your pecs...few inches away from each db touching each other? Hope that makes sense....need a video to explain better...maybe get the wife to take one of me tomorrow.
Also let's say incline db flies. Used to see and actually still do....guys twisting the db at their highest point to palms facing each other. Is this helping target anything?
