@petarklancir: Targeting the upper chest on the Pec Deck machine requires a combination of proper positioning, controlled movements, and mindful engagement. Begin by adjusting the seat height so that your palms connect together in chin area; this helps engage the upper chest fibers more effectively. Leaning forward slightly, can help engage the clavicular head of the pectorals (upper chest). This forward lean changes the angle of resistance, placing more stress on the upper chest fibers. While gripping the handles or pads, ensure your elbows are angled upward, further emphasizing the contraction in the upper chest as you bring the handles together. As you bring the handles together, focus mentally on contracting the upper part of your chest to enhance the muscle-mind connection. Use a controlled, smooth motion both during the contraction and the return phase to ensure the targeted muscles are doing the work and avoid using excessive weight that might lead to momentum. Avoid overstretching at the start of the movement, as this can strain the shoulder joint. Lastly, proper breathing, exhaling as you bring the handles together and inhaling as you return to the starting position, aids in muscle function and helps maintain stability and focus during the exercise. By following these techniques, you can effectively target and develop the upper chest on the Pec Deck machine. #bodybuilding #GymTok #gym #Fitness #chest #chestday #chesttraining #pectoralis #chestfly #gymeducation #petarklancir #ifbbpro
