We suggest hitting your upper chest through two exercises – the pike press and the decline pushup. Both of these exercises are intermediate to advanced versions of the pushup, so be sure to keep your volume (total repetitions) low for the first couple of weeks of training. Focus on the contraction of the upper chest throughout the range of motion.

All three parts respond to the best chest exercises, but from slightly different angles. The upper chest muscles are best stimulated by exercises done at a 30-45-degree incline. For example, the incline barbell and dumbbell bench press or incline dumbbell flyes and cable cross-overs are excellent upper chest exercises.
