Kbd I put up an article I wrote on correcting just such a posture problem the other day. I can't remember if it's under training or injury prevention. I'd put up the link but I am on the iPhone.

I have the same problem...but worse! lol. My shoulders are huge depsite injuries I've had from playin ball, but my chest is concave. It's got some size in the upper area but sucks down low. I think TB's post was great. A lot of people probably put up big weight on the bench and don't think twice about whether they are really working their chest. Personally, I've never even ONCE left the gym saying, "Man, my chest is gonna be sore tomorrow"... I never even get a good pump going in the middle of my chest.

KBD... You've spent a lot of time not arching your back while benching. That may in fact be hurting you as your shoulders are more stabilized in that position and allow you to "cheat" with them. I do the same thing I'm sure. Arch that back a lil bit (starting with lower weight until you get used to it) and hit those machines and wide grip brotha!

I think you just need to do a chest workout with me for a day. All your issues would be solved. And i didn't say damn I'll be sore tomorrow, but shit, my fucking chest is on fire.

I had a huge problem with chest back in the day but I know how to isolate those muscles now.

try working your chest with putting your feet on the bench to remove your back from the lift. You know, I'll put together some tips for you later, and post them up for everyone.

My upper chest responds well to the incline bench. I know some people hate to use the smith rack, but if you want to do some slow, controlled rep movements to really try to stimulate the target muscle group, sometimes the smooth movement along the rails is helpful. I would consider doing some angle "pyramid" sets (high reps), with each set adjusting the degree of incline.

For example, smallest incline 135 x 15, next smallest incline 135 X 15, and so on. Progress to an incline that is just starting to work shoulder and stop, and then move back down. You'll get a lot of reps, get a lot of blood flow to the target area, and you'll get the "feel" you want when you're attempting to target the upper pecs. The mind/muscle connection is no joke.

Good luck. You've got a good base.
