Fighting Weight Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Do it to the level that any higher would be a shoulder press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbmc Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 the incline at my gym is set, you can't move it, but when i use the smith machine i prop the seat up with a few 1.25k weights, coz the first notch on the bench is too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meticulous Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 bang inbetween flat bench and shoulder press sometimes i alternate between just higher than flat and just under shoulder press as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotsauce Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Do incline fly's aswell, there good for building mass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Planet Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was reading on body builders forum where one guy broke it down n kinda suggested that cos the pectoral is all one muslce you cant isolate the upper part using incline and its mainly down to genetics and neighbouring muscle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YFSD Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Would completely disagree, I can feel it isolating the top half of my pecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M12 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was reading on body builders forum where one guy broke it down n kinda suggested that cos the pectoral is all one muslce you cant isolate the upper part using incline and its mainly down to genetics and neighbouring muscle its true its all 1 muscle but you have to hit it from different angles to get the correct stimulation for growth everywhere. its the same principle as only doing squats for legs. sure your legs would get bigger, stronger and develop. but when you add in other things like hamstring curls, leg presses, good mornings etc. you start hitting the muscles in a slightly different way and get more overall development. When i started doing incline dumbell bench and incline smith bench and started to move decent weights on them and feel it. my chest exploded This is me aged about 17/18 http://tinypic.com/r/ngpyyw/5 This is me now http://tinypic.com/r/34dkkf5/5 Looking at 1st pic you wouldnt say i had any genetics for an upper chest at all.

Kurtis Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 my fave ting is incline dumbbell bench press i was also told that works the upper chest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mame Biram Diouf Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 All incline exercises focus more on upper chest.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Zero Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 What I've found has worked for me is mind muscle connection. When you do a rep don't just go through the motion but focus on working that specific body part throughout the movement. For instance with incline flyes keep the repetition controlled throughout especially on the negative and then when contracting the muscle upwards focus on squeezing the upper/inner part of the chest. When I focus on the specific muscle instead of just throwing the weights around I get a much bigger pump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpedeum Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 of course you can isolate the upper muscle of your chest. you can isolate any muscle or group of muscles. my chest has been ok since i been regular working out but it got alot better, and certainly in the upper pecs since i started doing the Charles Glass tweaks for flys, it worked so well that i had to focus on other parts that started lagging. Genetics is shemetics. all Genetics means in bodybuilding is that you may not have to work AS hard in some areas, not that you're the only one who can look that way. people use it in arrogance or to make it look like they dont work very hard, when they really do.

carpedeum Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 he could have been active in sports, even if just for leisure. Genetics is played out. Ask Arny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M12 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 even that 1st pic id probably been training about 6/7 months. but tbh hardly anybody has genetics so bad they cant get a decent build. its an excuse. train hard, use proper form and eat well. Most people will be able to look quite good in 2-3 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 M12 could you post your diet please? like what you stick to daily the one im on is getting boring tbh thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M12 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 My diet ain't really nothing to aspire to tbh Morning 6 Weetabix and milk Snacks at work fruit, water, sometimes random bits I cake etc. Lunch will have either rice, chicken and veg or sandwiches with meat in Dinner at home will be rice and chicken, pasta chicken or rice and need etc. Then gym Shake and bed. occasionally I'll throw in some scrambled egg. I don't eat enough at all. But then again I spend most days sat behind a desk. Back in the day when I desperately needed to put on weight id blend oats, milk and a couple scoops of whey in the morning and maybe add eggs or olive oil. Could easily clear 1000 Cals in the morning that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARVELL Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 lol@ u  always using that genetics sh*t go to PMG gym in maryland, you will find your curry eating, akbars there who are wedge slavery and the inbuilt instinct to shift patel's jaw extremely easily is not the reason why 'black guys are wedge' lol@ you going to be a GP and think you will get time for gym anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
