< strong>In your previous article:"Five Mistakes Novices Shouldn’t Make in Chest Training" you mentioned:< /p>
The chest muscle is a big muscle! The upper chest area near the collarbone is usually the weakest part! Insufficient upper chest will make the entire breast shape less beautiful and the outline of the chest muscles will not be clear!
The only way is to pay attention! For example, when you choose to bench press, you can focus on the incline, when doing push-ups, lean toward the decline, when doing chest presses, choose a low position, and when doing flyes, choose the incline!
Although it is impossible to completely isolate the upper chest muscles, through the change of angle, your entire chest muscles can be stimulated while targeting the weak upper chest more!
Many netizens left us messages: What is the best angle for doing incline exercises on the upper chest?
What is the best angle of incline?
Have you ever thought about the appropriate angle of the stool when doing incline bench presses and flyes?
Generally speaking, the greater the incline angle, the more the deltoid muscles are involved, the more It may cause excessive force on the front toe, so the seat angle should not be too tilted.
But the smaller the angle, the more inclined it is to bench press
What is the best angle?
Proven by practice: upper bevel30 degrees is the best choice for training the middle and upper part of the chest muscles (less than 30 degrees may tend to lean towards the middle muscles). When the incline angle is 45 degrees, it is most effective for the clavicle pectoral muscles, which is the uppermost part of the chest muscles (more than 45 degrees will affect the anterior deltoid muscles. Bearing too much pressure)
So: If you want to train the upper part of the chest muscles, the incline angle should be controlled between 30-45 degrees.
When doing the incline dumbbell press, it is absolutely necessary to measure the incline angle. If the angle is too large, the deltoid muscles will be overexerted. Bearing the load will reduce the stimulation of the upper chest muscles.
The above is just a suggestion: everyone will be different, I suggest you keep trying to find the most suitable angle for you!
