The upper chest is a notoriously difficult area to develop...you may have experienced this yourself! Incline bench presses are the most often recommended exercise to do it with. And they CAN be very effective for some people. However, what if inclines don't really work well for you? The shoulders and triceps often have a strong tendency to take over the exercise (even more so than with flat bench presses) and can leave you with a flat, underdeveloped upper chest. If that's the case for you, THIS exercise is going to be your new best friend. It doesn't require any special equipment other than an incline bench and a dumbbell, but it puts a STRONG contraction on the upper chest as you move to the top of the exercise. You're going to be "crushing" a dumbbell between the palms of your hands as you press it from your chest to overhead. It's the "crush" intention that is the key to the exercise. I recommend using this exercise either as a finisher or as a pre-exhaust exercise to make sure those upper chest (clavicular) fibers are activated. This is an amazing exercise to finish off your chest workout with. Even with light weight, it's very challenging and incredibly effective for putting a massive contraction on the upper chest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want a thick, ripped chest with NASTY road-map veins?
