here's my routine for bulking up the upper chest please critique
incline smith (i don't have a partner so i have to use the smith)
db incline press
flat smith
incline hammer strength (i was thinking about changing this to heavy incline flyes)
what do you guys think?
rule #1 deff. if u are bulking, ALWAYS HAVE A SPOTER, not only to keep u from droping 200lbs on ur head but also so u can push as much weight untill failure, if u want to hit the $hit out of that upper chest this is what i would doQuote:

Yeah in regards to the smith machine, I would just ask someone there to spot me, especially if you are trying to build mass, the smith doesn't allow the stabilizer muscles to come into play.
oh ya i totally forgot bout the smith machine, lol bro thats garbage dont use it, im sure u can find some dude in the gym that will spot u if not get one of ur lazy a$$ friends off there butt and go up there with ya lol
