Incline Barbell Bench Press, or Incline Dumbell Bench. If you are looking for serious results I recommend saturation sets. Start out with a moderate weight, for example lets say that your max on a bench press is 210lbs., start with 180lbs. and do a set of 12 reps, then add 5 more lbs. and do a set of 10 reps, continue adding 5 lb incriments until you reach 210lbs., and by that time you should only be able to do 2 or 3 reps. The breakdown of sets should go as follows: 12, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, and on the last 3 or 2. Between each set rest no more than 30 seconds. And remember this if nothing else, If it don't hurt, it don't work! Good luck!
Answer
They are called butterflies, I think. You lie on a bench and put one weight in each hand. Then put your arms staight in the air. Inside of your fists pointing towards each other. Then in one slow, controlled movement pull your arms down towards you and bend your elbows. The end position should be your hands about chest level and your elbows below the bench. Just repeat ten times. Move on to something else for about 5-10 minutes and then go back and do ten more. Move on the somthing else for 5-10 minutes and then go back and do ten more at least three times a week. If you need more than one excersise resubmit your question and put that you want more than one excersise.
Answer
You can do a bias upper chest work out with incline press or flies. You will still incorporate the mid and lower chest fibres. make sure the bench is at 45 degrees when you lie on it, too high and the shoulders play more of a role.
Answer
Bench press or butterflies are two good excercises. Butterflies are when you lay on a bench and hold one weight in each hand. Thumbs towards each other, facing in, pull your arms back, bending your elbows. Almost like a bench, but a little bend in the elbows. And when you go down with your arms they should go out just a bit. When you push your arms back up, the should go almost straight and push your hands together. Don't bang the weights together, but almost touch them. Repeat those about ten times, rest and then do it again. Rest and then do it again. Three reps of ten. There are lots of other excercises, I'm sure if you went to google.com and searched there, you would find many different ones with pictures.
Answer
This is called a supine fly not a "butterfly" The pectoralis major is worked in its entireity in this exercise, (upper and lower) only by tilting the bench to a 45 degree angle may the upper chest be worked. starting off make sure that the knees are higher than the hips (use a step) as this will take any arch out of your lower back. Slight bend in the arms, fingers pointing towards one another arms receed to in line with the shoulders hold for one second and pull from both sides simualtainously.
