Upper chest, biceps, shoulders

[Pale Assassin]

Ok all Ive got is a bench at home with barbell.

For upper chest i guess i can only do inclines, but whats the best angle to his the upper and middle chest?

My shoulders, im interested in hitting the middle delt head and rear, will military presses take care of that along with benching?

Biceps, the Brachialis i think, its between the triceps and biceps on the side of the arm, makes the arm apprear wider/thicker from the front. Will doing barbell or preacher curls hit it? I dont even have a preacher thingy but i noticed that the end of my bench lifts up so i can sort of use like a preacher curl bench.

Sounds good dude, just work with what you got. You will have to improvise a little. Good luck!

I'm not exactly sure about the incline angle, but I keep mine around 30 degrees, like I said I'm not positive that is the best angle. It works best for me because it keeps me from using my shoulders.

I think upright rows and lateral raises are more geared towards your lateral (middle) delt and barbell rows for your posterior (rear) You can get some inexpensive dumbells for the lateral raises. Military press work your front delts.

Yes, preacher curls will work.

The way it works is the greater the incline the more you uswe your shoulders. So that means at 30 your using more of you shoulders, notice how y our almost doing a db shoulder press at the 30 incline?. Decline uses only the pecs specifically the lower pecs and the triceps.

I meant 30 degrees from horizontal. Not from vertical.

military presses will make your front delts awesome your side delts will be good but it wont do much for your rear delts you probably have to do rear laterals for those

hi

yes levrone is right, when u do bench press your front delts will also be involved. But you dont use your rear delts. So do other exercises for your rear delts.

I personally would not use something that 'flips up and kinda will work like a preacher thingy'. It just sounds like an injury ready to happen. Your arm is so overextended, that if your makeshift device gives out, your arm is going to give out, at the bicep.

The way to work that ever-so overlooked bicep muscle is to do Hammer Curls. They hit it directly more than any other bicep move that I know of. Hold the DB with you arm in front of your chest, one DB at a time, with your palm facing your chest. You can alternate reps or do straight reps with one hand then the next.
