To effectively grow your chest, avoid bouncing weights off your ribs and performing half reps, both of which prevent a full muscle stretch. Additionally, keep your shoulder blades pinned back to stop your front delts from taking over, and prioritize incline presses to build the upper chest. Tracking your physical changes can help you identify which exercises are delivering results.
