IMO, Reverse grip bench press & neck press are the key to upper pectoral development.

Guillotine presses aka neck preses aka gironda press ftw. Slight angles incline decline and hammer strength machines

I dated this girl once she said my arms were to big for my chest. So I started doing chest 2x a week. Mondays (flat BB bench, Flat DB bench, Incline DB bench, and flat DB flys).

Then on Fridays (incline BB Bench, Incline DB bench, decline BB bench, and incline DB Flys).

My chest grew more and caught up to my arms for symmetry. I then dumped her.

I think lightweight guillotine presses can be beneficial but you have to mind your form because it is very easy to put too much stress on the shoulder joints.

Regular flat barbell presses never did much for me. I find my shoulders end up doing too much of the work. And I always found decline presses even less beneficial for me.

As far as my upper body goes my chest was once my weak link. These are the exercises that I found works best for me:

- Incline dumbbell presses
- Incline dumbbell flyes
** (I also really enjoy doing a superset of incline dumbbell presses followed by the incline dumbbell flyes)
- Weighted chest dips
- Dumbbell pullovers (With your body perpendicular to the bench)
- Variations of cable chest flyes


It may be a coincidence but I found my chest started to develop more when I trained my back and chest on the same days.

Chest & Back works for a lot people.
Similar concept as working biceps & triceps. My biceps were always my weakest link, until I started working them with my triceps.

I invented an exercise called Hercules jerks, or Jerking the Herc.. It's where you jerk the barbell out of someone else's hands while they're doing barbell presses. If they fight you, just call upon the power of Zeus!!
