Hey guys, I may have asked this before but I do incline bench every time I workout chest whether it be, cable inclines, incline dumbell, incline barbell, or incline flyes. I also hit shoulders hard doing overhead press dumbell or barbell, front raises, and rear delts. I tried out this new exercise almost like a upright row but using the front delts to sort of pull it up at a 90 degree angle to your chest. Anyway, I am having huge problems bulking up that upper chest and front shoulder area. It's like I cannot gain up there no matter what. I am 6'2", and about 195lbs right now. I used to be around 210 but lost a lot before my wedding to trim up for the honeymoon. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. I'm looking for any tips, tricks(workout wise) that would bulk me up there. I cannot stand having my chest sink in when wearing snug shirts or even loose shirts, I can see my collar bone. I also saw on this video preview that there was a way to do dumbell presses to work the upper part of the clavicle area. Anyone know this? It's something like a dumbell press then lowering the dumbells to your upper chest but doing light weight so that the dumbells press to your collar bone and are turned to where the palms face eachother. Sorry for the long post!

It takes time,, the collar bone area is most cartlidge and legimets.. I had the same problem just keep doing heavy incline presses for chest and work your shoulders and neck and it should start to fill in,, it's not and easy fix.

just some advice, in order to build the upper chest, keep your palms facing outward because turning them in will work the triceps more.
- Perform incline as the first excersize during your chest workout
- slightly arch your back and FOCUS on your upper chest muscle when moving the weight
- Descend Slowly, small pause, then press back up
- Use dumbbells more often because they will target more of the muscle because there is a larger range of motion
- when you do alternate to barbell (make sure you remember to cycle your excersizes to keep your body guessing) focus on squeezing your hands together on the barbell, this will help squeeze your upper chest more during the contraction - just don't literally push your hands together!
- everything else is purely genetic.

^^Cosign. Just take it slowly. Use a 4~3 rhythm when lifting, it'll be a lot less strain.
