Allllllright so i have been working my upper chest evenly with the rest of my chest, but it seems to be developing much slower than the rest. I have a nice full shape on the outer parts of my chest. Also seeing a nice full shape in the "middle" part of my chest (even though its only comprised an upper and lower). I was wondering if a nice full upper chest is hereditary or if its something i just need to work harder at?
I am going to start working out my incline first on my chest days to see if that helps with the growth. Is there any other steps i should be taking?

There are about 10,000 posts on here asking the same question. Yes, it's a common issue for most people. On chest day, do incline presses first, then flat bench.
Try this:
Incline BB press 4x6
Flat bench BB press 4x6
Incline DB flys 3x10

Im not big on the 4x6. I like scaling my weight as i lift. For example: Set 1 - 8 reps, Set 2 - 6 reps, Set 3 - 6 reps, Set 4 - 4 reps... Stripping the last set of 4. Each set is an increase in weight so im constantly building for strength while working out for size. Does that sound right? I could be mislead

You can make your upper chest more full by doing more incline, prioritize upper chest like others have said.
Anytime people are having trouble building upper chest I throw them this routine my friend made me years ago, its rock solid and great for the upper chest.
Incline BB Press 3 sets 6-10 reps
Flat BB Press 2 sets 6-10 reps
Cable Crossovers 2 sets 10-12 reps
super set w/
Decline Push ups 2 sets
Chest Dips 2 sets
