A good upper chest gives you an attractive look. Here, we give you some good exercises, which will help you to build muscle mass on your upper chest area and enhance your personality.
1. Incline bench press:
Lie on an incline bench (45 degrees). Now, lift the bar from the rack and hold above you at arm’s length. Lower the bar and touch your nipple area. Raise your arms until they are locked out. It is an important exercise to build your upper chest muscle big and strong. Avoid jerky movements and perform in a controlled manner.
2. Incline dumbbell press:
Lie on an incline bench and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Lift the dumbbells straight over your head and feel a good chest squeeze at the top. Lower the dumbbells and get back to the starting position. Feel a good stretch at the bottom. Remember to stretch in between exercises. Chest muscles respond well in these stretches.
3. Incline dumbbell flys:
