how do you build the upper chest at the collar bone?

[TUFF]

i always do incline first but when i look at big guys their chest comes straight out from their collar bone. it looks like a shelf you could sit a drink on.

what exercises build this.?

Just wondering by tucking the chin in is that have the same effect as tucking the chin in on dips. What does that do exactly? Any helpful tips is nice. I have subburn chest grows slowly. Thanks

[ANADROLicfreak]

i find it takes stress off the shoulders.call me crazy but it seems to help.i think branch does it to.

[sifferman]

Thanks man any help is welcomed. I feel it in the shoulders a littel bit when i do shoulders

incline db press

[freak]

masterbating with your elbow and wrist locked out so your shoulder and pec have to move your hand. the burn gets pretty intense.

some of that is genetics but def use the incline movements using a variety of methods (incline presses w/ bb, db, machines, cables.. as well as a variety of grips. i agree w/ ironwarrior in that some shoulder press movements may also help to a certain extent... like underhanded shoulder presses on a near vertical bench

[untamedsense]

It may sound wrong but front dumbbell laterals, hands in a neutral position, basically straight arms, from the side of the body to right in front of the face (literally go to centerline) or slightly higher (both together)...slight hold. Think of it as a low cable crossover. Add this to the incline movements...

Strict BB inclines at a 30 degree andle. Heavy sets 6-8 reps.Lower to just below chin and press to full lockout. Alot of the videos of pros slinging 405 around encourage bad form. Keep your elbows out wide, not tucked which will automatically incorporate the lats(this is not a PL bench). Also, strict incline db presses at a 30 degree incline using higher, 10-12, reps. A forgotten, and potentially dangerous exercise, is the wide grip BB bench to the throat. Hits alot of pec fibers but rarely done as it compromises the shoulder.
