Reverse(grip) Bench Press

>Australian researchers reported in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research that when weight-trained subjects performed incline bench presses, the muscle activity of their upper pecs was only about 5% more than the muscle activity of their upper pecs during the flat bench press.

>Canadian scientists found that when trained lifters did the reverse-grip bench press, the muscle activity of their upper pecs was 30% greater than when they did the bench press with a standard overhand grip.

Retracted is the word he should've used and it doesn't take out triceps emphasis. It is to alleviate the potential for biceps tendon impingements/AC joint and the retraction comes primarily from the middle portion of the thoracic spine. I wouldn't qualify that as the upper back.
