Upper chest exercises: every move, with a muscle map

An incline of about 30 degrees, or a fly from low to high, shifts a press toward the upper fibres of the chest, the part a flat bench reaches least.

Questions

What are the best upper chest exercises?

Start with one compound movement per muscle: Incline Barbell Bench Press. Each has a page with the form cues and swaps for home and gym.

How many sets should I do for the upper chest each week?

A common guideline is 10 to 20 hard sets per muscle a week, spread over two or more sessions. It is a guideline, not a target: fewer sets done well still build strength.
