    Not seeing results.

    I work my chest twice a week. I'm doing flys and incline flies and everything I know to do but the top part of my chest is just not growing. Doing higher weight lower reps. Any suggestions?

    What is your definition of lower reps?

    Incline presses on the Smith have done wonders for me.

    Are flies your only chest exercises.

    Are the weights progressing?

    Are you eating enough.

    Good suggestions/questions up there - I had this same issue with a serious lack of mass in the upper region, around the collarbone. Some of this is genetic and you'll just have to deal with, but you can always do something to improve it, just be realistic.

    A lot of people talk about focusing on incline movements for upper chest and while that's generally not bad advice, it wasn't enough for me. My shoulders were dominant over my chest and on many pressing movements my anterior delt was doing all the work (hence, my lifts also sucked). It took a significant posture adjustment to correct that, and it's something I'm still working on.

    In summary: picking the right exercise is 1 step, but making sure it actually works for you is an important 2nd step.

    OP stated ur problem.. You are prolly making your chest weaker. If your lifting "heavy" then stop working it 2x a week. it needs time to recover.

    How long have you been doing the same work out for?

    Maybe you have hit a plateau, consider changing the way u perform your exercise.
    Eg more reps, light weight.

    Or try changing the exercise completely.
