  • We recently tested 17 chest exercises to see what best targets the upper, middle, and lower chest. Here are some of the chest exercises that came out on top (#3 is my favourite), and here's how to combine them into a well-rounded chest workout. #youtubeshorts #shortvideo #shorts

    Been trying to grow my chest for 6 months now. Training 4 days a week; but seeing minimal progress, some, but not enough to convince me to carry on. Starting looking for other techniques and variations, just came across this mid workout, tried the very first one, putting the bench on an incline, literally already feel burning. Beautiful.

    To all the commenters: Upper - middle - lower are not used as anatomical designation but as relative positional designation of the overall pectoralis major muscle. Yes there are two heads that make up this muscle, but he is referring to the upper muscle fibers (clavicular head), middle muscle fibers (upper part of the sternocostal head - sternal fibers), and the lower muscle fibers (lower part of the sternocostal head - costal fibers). This distinction is important because of the orientation of these muscle fibers. That's why a slight incline greater recruits the clavicular fibers, neutral the sternal fibers, and slight decline the costal fibers

    There are only 2 origins of the pectoralis major, the most superficial muscle of the pectoral region, aka, the pecs, they are; the clavicular head and the sternocoastal head separating to only two parts and the latter connecting to the aponeurosis of the external obliques and nothing like upper, middle and lower chest

    All this assumes someone else will have the exact same arm position and arch. Don't follow this advice. Go into the gym and test it out. See what gets a pump and is sore the next day. As a general rule, the larger the arch the steeper the bench can be so that gravity is in line with the upper chest fibers.

      Soreness can vary and is not 100%. However, if there's zero soreness ever in the target muscle then something is likely off.
