An awesome benefit of developing the upper chest is it’s great for hiding man boobs. Too much lower chest development tends to push your man boobs out more, while a thick UPPER chest makes it less obvious that you have man boobs.

But most people get upper chest training totally wrong. The standard incline barbell bench press is not the best exercise for developing the upper chest. You’ll discover far more powerful upper chest exercises in the articles below, some of which you would never think were chest exercises at all.
