Question for IA with regards to upper chest/incline BB
Ok here's the situation:
Basically I am almost 100% certain that I have re-torn the labrum in my left shoulder. The tear is minor. There doesn't seem to be any instability in my shoulder just some pain with Incline BB and high pressing movements. As a result i've always struggled with Incline BB. I'm pretty much coming to the conclusion that i may need to write off free weight incline BB permanently with my situation. I've never really been able to hit my upper chest with this exercise. I always feel it more in my shoulders. Incline DB, Incline Flyes, flat variations, all seem to really fire my pecs as does Smith Incline. I guess my question is can I effectively hit my chest keeping this movement out of my routine? I was thinking of structuring my workout with: Incline DB's Incline Machine Flat/Outer Movement Incline Flyes Incline Smith My outer/lower chest is very thick. My pec/delt connectors are huge so i am trying to focus on my upper.

I'm no IA, but my advice would be the incline hammer.
Push with your hands open. Smash your upper back against the pad. Concentrate on squeezing your chest hard on every rep. Smooth reps.

Thanks GBAGH.
One that I do is to use the HS dip/press down machine, but to sit in the reverse position, and bend forward at the hips until I'm at least 45 degrees. I then press down using the handles, like a bench/dip. I find this just massacres my upper chest. Good luck with it Jay. Fantastic back, BTW! Lots of hours there.
