I've been working out for almost 2 years and have seen modest gains. One of the problems I have been having is the center part of my chest ( the area under my chin ). I have been doing butterflys but not with much luck. If someone could provide me with a chest routine that would be great. I am looking for a more angular chest, with that line down the middle and have it cut off straight at the bottom.
p.s. Will try to absorb as much information as possible so that I don't ask questions that have been posted 1000 times.

close grip bench press or cable cross overs hit the middle chest pretty well, do them on the incline if upper chest is the area you want to target.....

Incline DB press is unparelleled in this area.

cgb are a tricep excercise...Originally posted by bubba g

for chest compound excercises are best for mass so there are far more better than cable crossovers...

Re: 1st Post, need exercises for upper chest.
incline bb/db for upper chest
"inner/middle" chest = time and patience. nothing (not flyes, close-grip bench, etc..) targets it directly. it grows from heavy lifting and time.
