Your grip on presses can help to a degree. The closer your hands are together the more it targets inner chest.

The key thing to remmeber here is that your inner chest and how it looks is all about genetics. Some people have a nice valley in there while I have a little slope.

You cannot isolate different sections of the chest. But, there is a secret for bringing up lagging areas within a bodypart. It's called doing an isolation movement following a compound movement.

My upper chest has always lagged behind the middle-outer region, so I needed to figure out a way to make it work harder. Oddly enough, incline presses at all angles affected my anterior deltoids more than my upper chest. The 12-15 degree decline press worked my whole chest the best when I brought the bar down to the middle region, with the strongest part of my chest (mid-outer section) being worked the hardest. After doing decline presses I go to flyes because the strongest section of my pecs are now fatiques and they will not receive any help from the dominant triceps and very little help is forth coming from my anterior delts. In return, this pretty much takes the work away from those two muscle groups (triceps and deltoids) and deters my strongest point (mid-outer pectoral region) from doing as much work. Thus, the lower, inner and upper pecs worked harder and grew as a result!

I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
