Also, look for a way to emphasize the long head
by placing your arms in a more overhead position during other exercises — for example, when performing skullcrushers or close - grip
bench presses, opt for an incline
bench instead of a
flat one.
But a better way to get all 3 areas of your chest is to do a regular 4 - to - 6 sets of 4 - to - 12 reps workout doing middle chest compound exercises like dips and
flat barbell or dumbbell
bench presses (which basically works your entire chest anyway) followed
by you doing chest isolation exercises for your upper and lower chest - for example...
