Training chest - How can I overcome my front delts taking alot of the load
My upper chest development lags behind the other muscle groups for my upper body. The reason being is that my front delts stick out further than my upper chest, and therefore, end up doing alot of the work; hence the reason for my lack of upper chest development. How can I overcome this and get some serious upper chest development?

I would say mix up your chest routine. Try incline chest presses rather than flat bench and pre-exhaust your chest using flyes or pec dec before doing heavy work such as presses.

Yer defo more incline than flat, and make sure you have your arms quite wide as that the least ammount of work is being done by your delts and tri’s!

Try performing static contractions of your pecs between sets, this would involve mimicing the top position of the concentric portion of a cable crossover rep (or a most muscular pose!)and holding the contraction for 10-20 sec, stretch your pecs for 10-15 sec after holding the contraction and wait your normal rest period before performing your next set. This will focus more on your mid and inner pecs as opposed to the upper portion but it will definitly get around your delts taking over
