Not exact matches
When you're working on your
chest, make sure to have
as many sets that will work on your upper
chest, comprised of presses and
flyes,
as the number of sets on your lower
chest which would be made out of flat and declined presses and
flyes,
as well
as dips.
Once you get comfortable with this routine, you can up the challenge and stimulate even more growth by also doing 40 reps (in
as few sets
as possible) of suspension trainer
flyes, which take advantage of full body tension and activate your pecs from an angle that's hardly ever used during a standard
chest routine.
And since the upper
chest makes up such a small portion of your overall pecs, there's no need to directly train it any further using a
flye movement if you're already performing an incline press
as part of the workout.
Remember, you are not able to use
as much weight with
flyes in your
chest workout
as you do with the compound movements in the free work out plans.
There are a ton of different
flye exercises you can choose from, such
as dumbbell
flyes, cable
flyes and machine
flyes, but
as I discussed in my previous post (The Best
Chest Fly Exercise), cable
flyes are definitely the superior choice.

To prove it, try this... Right now, hold one arm in the
flye position while placing your other hand directly on the
chest muscle on the same side
as your «working arm».
Thanks to the flat level you can use it
as a flat weight bench so you can perform exercises like
chest press or
flyes.
As far as tightening up the chest, good exercises are push ups (and their variations) and the chest dip; if you're in the gym, you can add bench press (barbell, dumbbell and all inclines) as well as dumbbell flye

As with all
flye exercises, don't let the handles drop too low at your sides; this could easily strain your
chest muscles.
The
flyes are considered a good finishing
chest exercise because of this muscular isolation,
as well
as the nice stretch they provide.
Typically, when you read about working the upper
chest, you will hear a lot about incline exercises such
as incline barbell or dumbell presses and incline
flyes.
