Should you work upper or lower chest first?

The simplest and most obvious solution to emphasize your upper pecs is to target them first on chest day. So, instead of starting your workout on the flat bench, start with the incline bench press.

Should you focus on upper or lower chest?

As with any other bodypart you want to improve, you should start with the area you think is the weakest so you can commit the most focus and energy on that area. Since we’re talking about the upper chest, that means you should begin your session with the emphasis on the upper pecs and work your way down.

Should you train lower chest?

Lower chest muscles provide the pectorals with well-rounded, defined, and a visually appealing look. An under-worked lower chest won’t reflect the aesthetics and shape you wish to have. There are no heads associated with the lower pecs, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t target the lower chest.

What part of your chest should you work first?

And you’ll need more proximity to failure if you’re over 12–15 reps often but a similar range of sets. There is no hard and fast answer.

How long should I wait between chest workouts?
