Some would argue that it's not possible to zero in on these areas of the chest or pectoralis muscle. I would agree that you cannot isolate a particularly area, but saying it's impossible to influence one area over another is simply not true. In this video, I show you how to influence growth in the upper and inner pecs using a single dumbbell. This chest exercise is one that you can easily do at home since you don't need a lot of space or equipment to do it. To perform this upper and inner chest exercise called the crossover shrug, simply grab a dumbbell and stand with it hanging in front of you. Begin by twisting your hand in, so your thumb points towards you, this will internally rotate your shoulder. From here, simultaneously lift the dumbbell up and across your chest as you shrug your shoulder. You should feel an intense squeeze in your pecs as you do this. Slowly lower the dumbbell and repeat for 10-12 reps, making sure to hold the contraction of the pectorals on every rep. Again, you should see and feel the contribution of the different areas of the chest muscle as you perform this move.
