Chest problems!

My Chest Routine is
Incline Barbell Press
Flat Barbell Press
Incline Cable Fly
Flat Cable Fly
I do 3 sets each 8-12 repitions

My upper chest lags behind and I need a form check on the Incline Barbell Press. Exactly where do you bring the barbell down to? Above the calivicular, below it? My last question is does anyone have any techniques or tricks in order to keep shoulders and triceps out of the movement? How far do you place your hands apart when you hit upper chest?

you could try spacing your hands out a little past shoulder width to focus mainly on the chest. When preforming inclines I just touch my chest with the bar, not bouce it, touch. It helps give a good stretch in the chest. As for your shoulders and triceps they are part of the movement. The shoulders are your stabilizers and your triceps push the weight. Probably just need to use a wider grip.

Ummm there are too many fly movements. You should place the barbell on the upper chest. There is no way of neglecting the tricep ans shoulder.

My new routine will be
Incline Barbell Oress

Instead of doing cable flyes, do dumbbell flyes and also add some dips or decline to finish off with. Here is a sample of one of my exercises.

Incline Barbell Press- 1 x 15, 3 x 5-12
Flat DB Press - 1 x 15, 3 x 8-12
Weighted Dips - 3 x 15
Flat DB Flyes - 3 x 12
or
Finish with pec-dec flyes.

For every 2 days you do that workout have 2 days where you replace all barbell excercises with dumbells.
