    Question What Are Some Good Upper Chest Exercises?

    Been reading around for great upper chest work outs.

    These seem to be what the majority says.

    Incline Bench Press Barbell
    Incline Bench Press Dumbbells + Twist at Top
    Bench Press to Neck
    Wide Grip Dips
    Incline Dumbell Flyes

    I also read that flyes and pec deks aren't as effective and work against recovery. True?

    Are there any other good upper chest exercises?

    Bench pressing to the neck is not a good exercise.

    It's puts enormous strain on your rotator cuffs.

    Bench pressing to neck also sounds very dangerous. I wasn't a big fan of that exercise either. Thanks for the reply doug.

    I'd say do a variation of dumbbell and barbell incline bench presses, weighted/unweighted dips, and incline cable flys.

    For targeting the upper chest all of the exercises you mentioned except wide grip dips, (doesn't emphasize upper chest) and bench press to neck, (enormous strain on rotator cuff), would be a good choice.
