Re: Best movements for upper-inner pecs
Kind of off topice, but kind of on topic. If you truly want a bigger/stronger chest, strengthen your rotator cuffs. I had a 70 % tear of the supraspinatus (1 of 4 RC muscles), which made my entire shoulder girdle and chest very very weak. I also had surface tears on the subscapularis and the teres minor ot a lesser degree. Fortunately I was able to avoid surgery and thru intense phsical therapy I was able to drastically improve the strength of my RC. Low and behold, my chest began to get stronger with each workout. With the added strenght came an increase in size.
I'd venture to say that 80% of the people at your gym have grossly weak RC's...and it hinders their shoulder/chest development. The RC is responsible for keeping the "ball in the socket" and stabilizing your shoulder for all movements. If your RC is underdeveloped, the ball of the humerus will "slip" out of the socket to a small degree...throwing your form off big time.
Strong RC = strong pectorals.
