help required, upper chest and reverse flyes

[masyed3]

hi all,
i am new to body building. i started working out about a year ago, but after two months, i had a sporting injury. its been a month since i recovered and now i have started working out once again.

i have two major problems,
1. my upper chest refuses to grow, i have tried 45 degrees incline and 60 degree incline bench. i now lift about the same amount of weight on shoulders as much as i lift on the incline bench, but my upper chest still doesn't grow. i try to keep flyes light and bench press heavy for form and symetry's sake.

2. no matter how much i try, i cant break through a plateau on reverse flyes.

comments are welcome. please help.

What exercises/reps are you doing for upper chest workouts?

You're lifting with your deltoids maybe? Stop getting them into play and try focusing on your Pectoralis.

My upper-chest is very stubborn too so I started doing 6 sets of incline bench press before moving on to the flat bench press.

This is what my routine looks like and it's helped me look better :-
- Incline bench press 3
- Incline db. press 3
- Flat bench press 4
- Incline bench flyes 4 (60 degrees)

what is your routine for the delts? if you arent doing them already try face pulls.

i'm doing :
incline (60 degrees) press: 4 sets/6 to 8 reps [alternate between db and bb every week]
incline flies (45 degrees) : 3 sets/10 reps
flat bench (barbell) : 4 sets/6 to 8 reps
flat flies : 3 sets/10 reps
pull overs : 3 sets/ 12 reps
