chest question

SHELTYMAC Posts: 21 Joined: 2002/01/09	2002/03/24, 05:45 PM I have a problem with my middle chest having very little development my outer chest is huge and my lower chest is pretty good also, i have been doing flat bench, dips and inclines but my inner chest especially the upper inner part of my chest is very underdevelepd. it is hard for me to use a close grip on bench press because it hurts my shoulders, any advice on how i can really target my inner chest.

Also, you may want to move your hands a bit closer when you do bench. The closer your hands are, the more it transfers the weight to your triceps and inner chest. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"
