Chest ExercisesUpper Chest Exercises

If you’re looking for new upper chest exercises, here’s a list of exercises that you can use to train your upper chest muscles:

1. Incline Barbell Bench Press

It’s the most popular exercise for the upper chest. To do this exercise, you will have to:

1. Lie on an incline bench, you’ll have to see the Olympic Bar at the level of your eyes.

2. The grip should be wide and overhand grip

3. Dismount the barbell from the bench racks

4. Begin to lower the barbell slowly to the upper chest muscles (towards the collar bone). Also, do not touch your upper chest with the barbell

5. After that, begin pressing the barbell until your arms become extended

Do this exercise 4 sets with 8 – 12 reps.

My advice is very carefully to select the weights for this exercise, because many people injure their shoulder while they’re training this exercises. If you feel some pain in the arms, don’t do this exercise.
