There defiantly is exercises to zero in on upper chest. This video has three of them. But the first he does is the one I was thinking of and why I'm posting the vid. I do these and they work. Please don't discard the value based on the size of the guy doing them.

Good video. Those techniques will definitely help. Sometimes with smaller areas you have to get tricky with training. You can definitely isolate certain areas more with special techniques. There should always be heavy basic movements in there as well.

Try doing nothing but incline movements for chest for the next two months. Barbell, DB, Flys etc.

ECG studies show a slight decline press actually engages more upper chest fibers then any other angle, but it goes against gym dogma.
Always what I read too.

One thing I've noticed that really helped this area with me was weighted dips.

Go against everything you think....but I can definitely see a difference since adding them in a couple months ago.

Also see a big difference in the upper outside pec area where it ties into your shoulders.

A muscle fiber will not grow thicker at one end then it will the other. There are not as many fibers in that area for most people so they will see less results then they will for the rest of the chest.

Cable crossovers emphasis going beyond centerline and peck deck holding against each side/contract can hit the middle . Using various angles will ensure symmetry.

Thanks for this video link man. I’ve stopped doing the first and second exercise but I’ve done them in the past and I can’t definitely see the difference from not doing them.

The dumbbell hammer presses will do essentially the same thing, but for easier scalability do close grip inclines. Use a Smith machine for balancing and better control.

Upper hammer grip db presses would be my main exercise for upper middle chest. Squeeze the db's together as you push the weight up.

Depending on what your gym has, (now days the new big gyms all suck) anyway there is an older plate loaded incline press machine, Not the hammer strength type where your sitting straight up, this machine the plates are loaded on the back near the floor. the bench is at an incline, when you press up the two hand grips come together at the top allowing you to flex your chest at the peak of the rep. Not everyone is able to flex while doing bench presses or dumbell presses. If you press your arms out in front of you and flex your chest and turn your hands slightly counter clockwise your should feel the upper inner pec muscles flex harder. Its a pretty simple concept, Whatever muscle you want to grow, that muscle must do the work. Yes I agree with many post here, like doing incline cable cross overs hand going past your center line. But just simple saying do this move or that move for xyz reps and how many sets or drop sets doesnt mean shit if you cant target the area you want and make it do the work. If it aint sore later you didnt do it right and it aint gonna grow.

As many have said it's genetics...there really isn't an upper middle chest muscle its your pectoralis major and your genetic structure. To help it grow though as a whole...high incline heavy chest work will definitely help. There's no magic rep scheme or set or exercise to grow, just heavy weight. Look at the westside bb crew of Louie Simmons, those guys got slabs of chest muscle.

Right now flex the lower 35% of your triceps longhead ONLY, Not the other 2 tricep muscles and not the upper 65% of your triceps long head.

Oh wait that's impossible. Many people think they can concentrate on one part of one actual muscle. Body doesn't work that way.

The part you circled it where the pec minor attaches and the upper portion of where the pec major attaches. You can train those muscles and partially isolate the major or minor, but you cannot only train the inside part of the pec minor or the upper inner part of the pec major without the rest of the muscle contracting. Most definitely you cant change where they attach!

High incline presses, one to two notches below where the bench would be fully upright. I've found the harder I retract and squeeze my should blades, the more chest recruitment I get as well. This has added a noticeably amount of mass on my upper chest.
