Inner chest woes

[shawn9811]

Im sure everyone has/comes along this problem sometime. My chest has good size and definition lower outer and upper out, but the dreaded upper-inner chest feels like nothing but chest bone. Are there any workouts i can jumpstart or spot train just my upper-inner chest just below where my collar bones come together?

I think spot training is more of a myth than anything. If your upper/inner chest is weak I think it has more to do with genetics than anything else. I have huge biceps but no peaks whatsoever. You may want to try close grip bench press. Although I don't believe in isolating certains areas of a muscle this will be the exercise others will tell you to do.

I've had great success in developing my inner chest by doing what I've advertised in my thread below:

New Chest Exercise

Really squeeze the dumbells together as you press them!

Good luck!

I was in the same boat as you added incline fly with a squeeze at the top of the movement. As an added benifit I rotated the dumbells. So it is squeeze with a rotation. I would start out small weight and focus on the movement. The weight does not need to be heavy.
hope this helps

Agreed, genetics play a huge role in chest development. Different workouts just add variation to stimulate growth.

Genetics indeed. I finally got cut up and every part of my chest looks different when compared to the other side. I have a square shaped right pec, and a more rounded left, lots of inner left, more outter right.... i would never win in a competition....
